The Central Message of the New Testament

Joachim Jeremias

quintessential Jeremias: at once very simple and very profound... Jeremias discusses four themes that take us straight to the heart of the New Testament: Abba, the Atonement, justifica-tion by faith, and the Prologue to John's Gospel. Each chapter has some new exegetical insights; all are marked by a lovely limpidity of style.... For all who teach and preach the New Testament this book is a 'must.'"

-A. M. Hunter in Scottish Journal of Theology

"This is an exciting and penetrating book. It ex-hibits what critical scholarship, at its best, can do to illumine the message of the New Testament. this book will be of great service in getting at the message of the Bible in terms of what it meant to its first hearers and readers."

-Andrew J. Bandstra in Calvin Theological Journal
