Synopsis

Discover the origins of the New Testament with clear, accessible insight. This concise, popular introduction explains how modern scholarship views the birth of Christian writings, showing how science- based study can illuminate ancient history without requiring specialist training. It guides readers through the rise of the New Testament, the formation of its canon, and the ways older traditions were shaped by later beliefs—without dogma or heavy jargon.

This edition aims to reach a broad audience: the curious layperson, busy clergy, and thoughtful readers who want a grounded view of early Christian origins. It offers a plain, exhaustive account of where the New Testament comes from and what we can responsibly conclude about its beginnings.

• Plain explanations of how scholars approach the origins of the gospels and letters


• Discussion of manuscript history, dating, and the development of the Canon


• Clarification of what is known, and what remains uncertain


• Examples of how tradition and rewriting affected early Christian texts

Ideal for readers of history, religious studies, and anyone seeking a clear map of how the New Testament emerged from its historical context.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The A Origin of the New Testament was originally delivered by the late Professor Wrede to an educated audience of lay folk in the form of lectures. The reader will not fail to perceive marks of this in the direct personal style of address throughout. A certain melancholy interest attaches to it as a posthumous publication. It is among the literary remains of the late Professor William Wrede, published by his brother with the assistance of a friend of the deceased theologian. The present work is intended for, and suited to, a much wider circle of readers than more elaborate and technical works.
