Is there a theology of the New Testament? Stephen Neill shows that arising out of many traditions and interpretations of Jesus even within the New Testament there is an underlying unity of faith summed up in the words Resurrection-Spirit-Reconciliation. This is an ideal introductory textbook for the general reader. Students will be glad of the notes and bibliography so as to pursue more detailed enquiries, and even specialist scholars who are familiar with many of the author's arguments will be grateful for new insights and interpretations.
