Review Quotes

New Testament Theology makes a resounding case for fundamental agreement underlying canonical variety. Students will profit from the smooth, non-technical prose free of jargon and the select bibliographies. Seasoned scholars will feel the weight of this coherent overview of a field of study in ferment.

"Few who consult this book, whether for academic or ministry purposes, will fail to benefit."

"For decades, Howard Marshall has been a voice of thoroughness, fairness and moderation in biblical studies. Now, in a time when some are questioning the very need and legitimacy of New Testament theology, Marshall demonstrates why it must still be done and how it should be done, and then, quite simply, he does it. Biblical scholars and students on both sides of the Atlantic are once again indebted to a man who has written much and been a friend and a mentor to many."

"I. H. Marshall surveys the issues and themes of New Testament theology as only the dean of evangelical New Testament scholars could do."

"This book is a stunning achievement by an outstanding scholar and gifted teacher. Here the fruit of wide reading and reflection over many years is set out most attractively. Students and scholars alike will appreciate the clarity of the discussion, the nuanced judgment on disputed issues and the guidance given to further reading. I particularly welcome the author's 'witness by witness' approach in his exposition of New Testament theology: the distinctive themes of the individual writings and the unifying threads both receive careful attention."

"This New Testament theology, the work of a distinguished, mature scholar, is most welcome! It is methodologically sound, attuned to the current issues in the field, lucid and genuinely comprehensive. Marshall's idea of the New Testament texts as missionary theology is intriguing and deserves careful reflection. This New Testament theology should be regarded as today's standard in the field."
