Overview

In Introduction to the New Testament, Theodor Zahn, one of the most prominent New Testament scholars at the turn of the twentieth century, examines the information necessary to understand the 27 books of the New Testament. Zahn examines the provenance, date, authorship, and audience for each book. He looks at the literary structure and unity, addressing questions of authenticity and redaction history. He considers what the composition of the various books tells the reader about the character of the author. While he maintains a conservative view of the New Testament books, he does not ignore recent scholarship or shy away from controversial subjects.

Theodor Zahn’s Introduction to the New Testament links to the rest of the books in your library.

Theodor Zahn was Professor of New Testament Exegesis in Erlangen University. He was an outstanding interpreter of the New Testament, but to most in the English-speaking world he is known best for his Introduction to the New Testament. It is without doubt the finest work of its kind. Its conservative viewpoint makes it a must for all diligent conservative students of the New Testament. It should be read and re-read until it has been digested. One may not follow Zahn in all of his views, yet they are always stimulating. The set is commended highly to all who love the solid foundations of our faith.

—S.L. Johnson Jr., Bibliotheca Sacra

The reprinting of this massive set (last done in 1953) is a welcome aid to students and pastors alike. It is characterized by a conservative treatment of the text, a feature which has contributed to its timeless appeal. While one should never fail to consult the newer introductions, neither should one ignore the contributions of this author.
