About the Book

Since this Companion to the New Testament was first published in 1970, new methods of interpretation and sustained research into the environment of Jesus, and the early church, have combined to correct former misunderstandings and to set old problems in a new light. This fully revised second edition now follows the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) to provide a running commentary on the text of the New Testament while taking account of the findings of recent scholarship. Using no technical language, it aims to set the text in the context of the time and place in which it was written, and to clarify its meaning in the light of modern methods of research and interpretation. Accessible and up-to-date, this work will be invaluable to clergy, students and all who have a serious interest in the New Testament.

Table of Contents:
Preface; Preface to the First Edition (1970); 1. The New Testament; 2. The gospels; 3. Acts of the apostles; 4. Letters; 5. Revelation.

About the Author :
Dr A. E. Harvey was formerly a Lecturer in Theology at Oxford University and Sub-Dean of Westminster. He is now retired and is a Fellow of the George Bell Institute.

Review :
'Anyone tackling the New Testament will do very well to take with him this learned, reliable, plainspoken and honest Companion.' Humphrey Palmer, Religious Studies 'I would wholeheartedly recommend that it be put into the hands of intelligent lay people who want to get at the substance of the New Testament message and the problems involved in our attempt to understand it.' Paul J. Achtemeier, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly 'A remarkable achievement.' C.F.D. Moule, Journal of Theological Studies 'Very readable.' Bible Study Monthly 'Harvey's Companion to the New Testament has been widely acclaimed for its scholarship, insight, and style.' Secondary Education 'An excellent work.' Robert C. Campbell, Baptist Leader 'It is the sort of handbook to which pastors will learn to turn repeatedly when preparing sermons or lessons for study groups.' Howard Clark Tree, Theology Today 'Accessible and up-to-date, this work will be invaluable to clergy, students and all who have a serious interest in the New Testament, including pastors preparing sermons ... learned, reliable, plainspoken and honest Companion, which has been so widely acclaimed for its scholarship, insight and sense of historical style. 'I would wholeheartedly recommend that it be put into the hands of intelligent lay people who want to get a t the substance of the New Testament message and the problems involved in our attempt to understand it,' says Paul J. Achtemeier, Editor of The Catholic Biblical Quarterly.' The Universe 'Accessible and up-to-date, this work will be invaluable to clergy, students and all who have a serious interest in the New Testament, including pastors preparing sermons. Indeed, anyone tackling the New Testament could do a lot worse than to refer to this learned, reliable, plainspoken and honest Companion, which has been so widely acclaimed for its scholarship, insight and sense of historical style.' The Universe '... wise and lucid commentary. Enormous amounts of information - and the fruits of a lifetime's engagement with other scholars - are distilled into page after page of the elegant prose for which Dr Harvey is known. The book is a pleasure to read. It will be highly valued both by preachers and by general readers seeking a one-volume commentary.' Church Times 'Anthony Harvey's style is clear and logical. ... The Companion is a distinguished work which succeeds admirably in providing its intended reader with a lucid and scholarly commentary on the New Testament. In an era of hyper-specialization, its range and authoritative tone, sustained over such a breadth of material, are highly creditable.' Times Literary Supplement 'Readers will appreciate Dr Harvey's placing of the Biblical narrative in its historical and geographical context ... invaluable text both for its intended general readership and for theological students ... it is an authoritative text ... important adjunct to collections of Bibles and Biblical dictionaries in reference libraries.'
