Neyrey here interprets eight key New Testament books, providing a fresh look at theologies in the early church and introducing readers to the diverse ways in which the New Testament writers ''render to God the things that are God's.'' He begins with two Gospels, Mark and Matthew, and moves on to the Acts of the Apostles and three of Paul's letters (Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Galatians). He then examines the formal and precise ways in which Jesus is called God in the Gospel of John and concludes with a discussion of how Hebrews uses ''eternity'' as a fundamental concept for understanding God. Using a social-science methodology, he offers a unique perspective on the biblical text.
Jerome H. Neyrey is Professor of New Testament at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. A leader in the use of the social sciences in biblical studies, he is the author of numerous works, including An Ideology of Revolt: John's Christology in Social Science Perspective (Fortress Press, 1988), Paul in Other Words (1990), Portraits of Paul (with Bruce J. Malina, 1996), and Honor and Shame in the Gospel of Matthew (1998).
