Dictionary of Later New Testament and Developments

A Compendium of Contemporary Biblical Scholarship.
Picking up where the previous volumes left off, this volume includes in its scope the book
of Acts, the general epistles of Peter, James, Jude and John, and the books of
Hebrews and Revelation. This Dictionary is without peer in its in-depth
coverage of the most neglected books of the New Testament. In addition to its
coverage of this NT literature, a unique and valuable feature of this
Dictionary is its extended coverage of developments in early Christianity
through AD 150. Some articles, such as those on each of the apostolic fathers,
focus exclusively on this postapostolic period. But nearly all topical articles
take into consideration the writings of the apostolic fathers. Readers will
enjoy a deeper and expanded understanding of how orthodox Christianity
continued and developed in the years just following the New Testament era. No
other single-volume reference work provides comparable coverage and assessment
of the early patristic era and its theology. The Dictionary of the Later
New Testament and its developments is a timely response to
post-Enlightenment Christians who are seeking to rediscover their ancient roots
in the soil of the first two centuries of the Christian era. And it lays the
foundation for students of the NT who are now being challenged to expand their
field of vision to include the broader crucible in which the Christian
tradition developed. (= 0830817794 / 9780830817795)

'This volume provides an excellent
reference tool that matches the excellent quality of the Dictionary of Paul and
his Letters. Numerous articles offer constructive help and contain very useful
up-to-date bibliographies. I gladly commend this volume to students of the
