Reading the New Testament in the Church

A Primer for Pastors, Religious Educators, and Believers.

Internationally respected scholar Francis Moloney offers a Catholic
introduction to the New Testament that shows how to read it both faithfully and
critically. The opening chapter and an epilogue directly address the
theological requirements of, and historical challenges for, ecclesial reading.
The remaining chapters give exemplary readings of the figure of Jesus and of
the various divisions of the New Testament canon. Conceived as a resource for
religious educators, deacons, and other ministers in the Catholic Church, this
book will serve Catholics and others as an ideal supplement to a conventional
New Testament introduction or as a companion to reading the New Testament
itself.

Moloney usefully frames his treatment with an account of the ways in which " the church has dealt with Scripture over the last 150 years. Readers seeking an
introduction that combines scholarly integrity and theological responsibility
will find Fr. Moloney's book a welcome aid to understanding the foundational
documents of the church. - Harold Attridge"
