Nijay Gupta has produced an accessible and helpful resource for students who are seeking to grasp the contours of scholarly debates on several key issues in New Testament studies. Gupta presents a fair and balanced treatment of diverging opinions and whets the readers appetite vis--vis the issues discussed.
Abson Joseph , Wesley Seminary, Indiana Wesleyan University
In A Beginner s Guide to New Testament Studies , Nijay Gupta demonstrates the skill of a master guide as he takes readers on a fast-paced tour of the world of New Testament studies. This volume doesnt shy away from the complexity of critical New Testament debates and yet manages to offer concise, accessible overviews that invite further study and reflection. Nijays pastoral sense is also evident as he anticipates the challenges presented by popular (mis)perceptions of the New Testament (in church and culture). A new generation of students will find that Nijay has demystified some of the most contested areas of scholarly debate and provided them with the opportunity to navigate their own course in studying the New Testament.
Ronald Herms , Fresno Pacific University
A concise and accessible guide with salient details for beginners. The short chapters aptly expose students to the main issues and differing views among scholars, and each concludes with questions for critical reflectionquestions that may be reappropriated for online, in-class, or small-group discussions. An excellent book for undergraduate students.
Daniel K. Darko , Gordon College
What do New Testament scholars think about the historical reliability of Johns Gospel? What is the relationship between the historical Jesus and the apostle Paul? What is the New Testaments view of women in leadership roles? What is the center of Pauls theology? Do Pauls statements about the Jewish law have any coherence? Who really wrote Jude, 2 Peter, or the Pastoral Epistles? Is the New Testament silent on the Roman Empire or does it engage in a veiled but powerful critique? It would take beginning students a lifetime to answer these questions! Or they could just read this book. Gupta has a detailed grasp of the New Testament, its sociocultural world, and the history of New Testament interpretation, and he communicates in remarkably accessible prose, providing an ideal entry point for students seeking a way in to the field of New Testament studies.

This book wouldnt have been possible without the help of James Ernest, who accepted the original proposal, and the ongoing support of Bryan Dyer, who took over the project after James. Many of the essays in this book were field tested with my own students over the last several years, and I received substantial feedback that has helped me refine, clarify, and strengthen this work. My deepest thanks to those students, especially Alex Finkelson and Benjamin Black, who both provided focused advice and feedback that I needed at the last minute. Some chapters I sent out to subject experts for comments and a bit of extra help, so thank you to Mike Bird, Adam Winn, Anthony LeDonne, and Dean Flemming.
This book is dedicated to two of my own teachers. First, I want to honor Dr. David Aune (Ashland University) who introduced me to the academic study of the Bible when I was a teenager. I was a high school student who was able to take a college course for credit. I signed up for Dr. Aunes introduction to the Bible. I remember asking him all of these newbie questions after class, and he would graciously take me over to his office and look things up in the Greek text to help me find specific answers. Needless to say, his love of learning inspired me. Second, I want to honor Dr. Sean McDonough, the seminary professor who taught me how to interpret the New Testament (Look at the fish!let the reader understand). Dr. McDonough challenged me to learn from all the best resources across the spectrum of views and then to weigh and discern the strongest position.
Last, but not least, I wish to acknowledge my family. My wife, Amy, always presses me to get to the so what? of academic debates. And the nightly exercise of reading the Bible with my young children constantly challenges me to reflect on how a better understanding of the Bible ought to lead toward love of God and love of neighbor.
