    Product Description

    One of the daunting challenges facing the New Testament interpreter is the immense corpus of related literature. Scholars and students alike need an understanding of the content, origins, and worth of New Testament interpretation from a wide range of pagan, Jewish, and diversely Christian documents.

    This thoroughly revised and expanded edition of Non-canonical Writings and New Testament Interpretation examines a huge range of ancient literature, distilled into an practical handbook. Craig Evans evaluates the materials' relevance for interpreting the New Testament and provides essential biographies.
