'... well-presented, lucidly written ... this volume offers an excellent and easy to understand overview of the current state of historical critical research ...'. Themelios 2003, 'Burkett's writing is lucid and very accessible, and the layout is well-designed, using headings, black-and-white illustrations, text boxes, and questions for discussion and revision.' Church Times, 'This is a text-book for a one-semester undergraduate course and it is well written for such students … Burkett's style is well targeted at his intended audience, and he supports his presentation with discussion questions and brief suggestions for further reading at the end of each of the book's forty chapters.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 'The only thing misleading about Linda Woodhead's Introduction to Christianity is its over-modest title. While it does indeed provide a highly readable over-view of the religion for beginners, it also has a huge amount to offer readers who already know a good deal about the topic. Dr Woodhead impresses by her knowledge of history and politics as well as theology and conventional 'religious studies' approaches - not to mention her admirable sense of fairness throughout. This lucidly written Introduction deserves the widest possible audience.' Philip Jenkins, "The book's strongest point is Burkett's lucid, simplified style, reflecting his experience in teaching undergraduates." Interpretation, 'It provides an introduction to all the New Testament books and major Apostolic writings, set in clear frameworks which enable the student to place each book within the development of early Christianity. Its advantages are many: careful explanation of the vocabulary of biblical scholarship, an appendix of illustrative texts, well-stated discussions providing a firm foundation for later examination, reading guides and a near integration of different critical methods. It is by far the most useful and balanced introduction to the study of the literature of early Christianity published recently.' Expository Times, "...eminently suited to classroom use for beginners. Burkett's style is clear and readily comprehended: his stance on the main literary and critical issues is fair and judicious." Novum Testamentum, "Burkett follows a very well thought-out approach throughout, and is clearly drawing on his own teaching experience...I would certainly recommend this book as a basic introductory work for...undergraduates." Scripture Bulletin, '… this work fills an important niche in the market. Burkett's survey is well suited for those seeking to assign a single textbook for a one semester introduction course that provides a broad overview of the New Testament and Christian origins …'. Reviews in Religion and Theology, 'This book is written in an extremely lucid, uncluttered style. It is well illustrated throughout ...'. Scottish Bulletin of Evangelical Theology, "Burkett's book is well written and well argued for this audience and his insistence on treating New Testament texts equally with other early Christian texts is a valuable contribution to introductory study." Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 'I would certainly recommend this book as a basic introductory work for 'A' Level students and 1st year undergraduates.' Susan Docherty, Scripture Bulletin, '… well-presented, lucidly written … this volume offers an excellent and easy to understand overview of the current state of historical critical research …'. Themelios 2003, 'This book is written in an extremely lucid, uncluttered style. It is well illustrated throughout …'. Scottish Bulletin of Evangelical Theology, '... this work fills an important niche in the market.

James R. Wicker, Southwestern Journal of Theology, 'His book is clearly written, analytical and well illustrated. Its accessible style and graphic representations - mostly black and white pictures, and maps - are meant to benefit students and their teachers in universities, seminaries and colleges, and anyone interested in the origins of Christianity. The clarity of ideas, well-organised structure and non-technical language of the book make it a very readable and good introduction to a subject characterised by depth and difficult questions.' Evangelical Quarterly, "...it serves its purpose very well. It is clearly written, and by drawing attention to views of different scholars it usually refuses to be dogmatic." Neotestamentica, '… well-presented, lucidly written … this volume offers an excellent and easy to understand overview of the current state of historical critical research …'.Themelios 2003, "It is by far the most useful and balanced introduction to the study of the literature of early Christianity published recently...Strongly recommended."

Synopsis
This book, first published in 2002, offers an authoritative and accessible introduction to the New Testament and early Christian literature for all students of the Bible and anyone interested in the origins of Christianity. It is designed primarily for undergraduate courses in the New Testament, biblical studies and early Christianity. Delbert Burkett focuses on the New Testament, but also looks at a wealth of non-biblical writing to examine the history, religion and literature of Christianity in the years from 30 CE to 150 CE. An appendix containing translations of primary texts allows instant access to the writings outside the canon. With this textbook and the Bible, the student should therefore have all the necessary basic texts. The book is organised systematically with questions for in-class discussion and written assignment, step-by-step reading guides on individual works, special box features, charts, maps and numerous illustrations designed to facilitate student use., This book offers an authoritative and accessible introduction to the New Testament and early Christian literature for all students of the Bible and anyone interested in the origins of Christianity.
