I have attempted to write the sort of introduction to the New Testament for which I myself was searching in my student days and never really found. I was looking for a book which would enable me to wear a path through my New Testament both historically and theologically, a book which would enable me to move about in the New Testament with confidence and would give me solid ground under my feet for future more detailed exploration. I have attempted, therefore, to make the historical materials serviceable theologically by taking the Holy Spirit seriously as the paramount power in history. I have sought to write a book which encourages a maximum f observation of the text itself. I have reduced the theoretical and hypothetical to a minimum and have contented myself with the barest indication of views which diverge from my own.
