Description: A distinguished group of scholars here introduces and illustrates the array of strategies and methods used in New Testament study today. Standard approaches -- text criticism, historical methods, etc. -- appear side by side with newer approaches -- narrative criticism, Latino-Latina hermeneutics, theological interpretation of the New Testament, and more. First published in 1995, Hearing the New Testament is now revised and updated, including rewritten chapters, new chapters, and new suggestions for further reading.

Review Quotes: From reviews of the first edition
Religious Studies Review"Highly recommended for supplementary reading in NT classes. Its general accuracy, moderation, freedom from bias, and concision are welcome." Interpretation
"Beautifully written and edited, deceptively sophisticated, and uncommonly rich in insights into biblical interpretation."
