This Festschrift has an unusual breadth of topics ... Many of the contributors are writing outside their specific field of specialisation and present their assigned topics in an accessible manner to the non-specialist, while also indicating fruitful links with other disciplines.

An examination of the New Testament from a variety of angles featured in the study of John Muddiman providing insights into the synoptic problem, the gospels, and the use of the New Testament in ecumenical dialogue.

Formerly the Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement, a book series that explores the many aspects of New Testament study including historical perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and theological, cultural and contextual approaches. The Early Christianity in Context series, a part of JSNTS, examines the birth and development of early Christianity up to the end of the third century CE. The series places Christianity in its social, cultural, political and economic context. The European Seminar on Christian Origins and Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus Supplement are also part of JSNTS.
