An excellent, much appreciated endorsement of INTRODUCING THE NEW TESTAMENT, vol. 3 of EXPLORING THE BIBLE: THE DICKINSON SERIES. Osvaldo D. Vena, Professor of NT Interpretation at Garret-Evangelical Theological Seminary, writes the following: Rev. Anne Robertson has written a compelling introduction to the New Testament geared toward those people in the church who want to deepen their knowledge of the Bible but who lack the skills necessary to navigate the biblical text and the traditions behind it. In that sense this book will fill in the gap left by inadequate or no Biblical formation in churches. Because it presents in a non-technical yet insightful look at some of the main issues related to the study of the New Testament, this book can be a very helpful tool to be used in college and seminary introductory Bible course in tandem with other textbooks. Some of the many positive features of Rev. Robertson’s book are its accessible language, its witty and compelling rhetoric, its clear and clever organization, its many photographs, paintings, illustrations and windows providing additional information, its honest treatment of the issues, and its intentional acknowledgment of different interpretations of the Bible and their repercussion on people’s lives. By not avoiding controversial issues such as the nature of miracles, anti-Semitism, and the birth of the Trinitarian language in the church, this book represents an honest approach to the Bible that can only enlighten and strengthen people’s faith and commitment to the church and the world.
