Language and Literature of the New Testament

In The Language and Literature of the New Testament, a team of international scholars assembles to honour the academic career of New Testament scholar Stanley E. Porter. Over the years Porter has distinguished himself in a wide range of sub-disciplines within New Testament Studies. The contents of this book represent these diverse scholarly interests, ranging from canon and textual criticism to linguistics, other interpretive methodologies, Jesus and the Gospels, and Pauline studies.

"In all, this volume provides a stimulating variety of contributions in many areas of NT study, and as such constitutes a fitting tribute to a scholar whose own influential contribution to the field has truly ranged far and wide." - Simon Crisp, University of Birmingham, U.K. "As a voluminous collection of essays covering many areas of NT studies, this volume is highly recommended for all biblical studies research libraries." - D. Estes, South University, in: Religious Studies Review Volume 45, Number 3, September 2019.
