Dictionary of the Later New Testament & Its Developments (The IVP Bible Dictionary Series)

Killer resource. It's a book that I wish I were in the habbit of referencing more often.

NO OF PAGES: 1289 SUB CAT I: New Testament Origins SUB CAT II: Reference SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Picking up where the previous volumes left off, this volume includes in its scope the book of Acts, the general epistles of Peter, James, Jude and John, and the books of Hebrews and Revelation. This Dictionary is without peer in its in-depth coverage of the most neglected books of the New Testament. In addition to its coverage of this New Testament literature, a unique and valuable feature of this Dictionary is its extended coverage of developments in early Christianity through A.D. 150. Some articles, such as those on each of the apostolic fathers, focus exclusively on this post apostolic period. But nearly all topical articles take into show more consideration the writings of the apostolic fathers. Readers will enjoy a deeper and expanded understanding of how orthodox Christianity continued and developed in the years just following the New Testament era. No other single-volume reference work provides comparable coverage and assessment of the early patristic era and its theology.NOTES: Purchased from CBD SUBTITLE: A Compendium of Contemporary Biblical Scholarship show less
