The New Testament by Gerd Theißen
A Literary History
A concise survey that reconstructs the emergence of early Christian writings as a literary and social phenomenon, tracing a likely sequence from Paul’s letters through the Gospels, later epistles, and Revelation. It clarifies genres, audiences, and theological aims, situates texts within their historical conflicts and communal settings, and explains how diverse voices gradually coalesced into a canon. Using historical-critical, sociological, and literary approaches, it highlights both the plurality and developing cohesion of the movement and the processes by which traditions were transmitted, edited, and authorized.
