Description: Books on New Testament theology are usually organized along the lines of either an analytical or a thematic approach. The former investigates the units of the New Testament (e.g. the Synoptic Gospels, the writings of John, Paul's letters and so on); the latter deals with common themes and how they are dealt with throughout the New Testament.

Dr. Scott proposes a slightly different approach: "It seems to me that either consciously or subconsciously, there were in the minds of the New Testament writers a set of basic questions with which they dealt in one way or another. These questions arise naturally to many readers of the New Testament and the New Testament documents provide answers for them. The questions are:  Who is Jesus?  What is the Church? What must I do to be saved? How should the Christian live? What is the Church's relationship to Society? How shall it end? What does the New Testament teach us about God?

By organizing the material in this way, around natural themes, the New Testament is able to speak for itself.

"This book is a labor of love—for the Scriptures, for readers, for learning, for teaching, and for God himself. The author takes up each topic in a wise, thorough, probing, and reverent manner. Readers will gain fresh insight into the history of New Testament times, the convictions of the biblical writers, and the implications of the age-old yet ever new Christian message for today. Readers will also glimpse the work of major New Testament scholars as their research has unfolded over recent decades. This is an excellent intermediate survey for college students, as well as for laypersons eager to move to new levels of biblical understanding."
--Robert W. Yarbrough, Trinity Evangelical Divinty School, Deerfield Illinois

"Julius Scott’s New Testament Themes is in fact a theology of the New Testament helpfully pitched at the level of the college student and general reader rather than the professional theologian and affords a detailed but readily readable and comprehensible topical exposition of New Testament teaching. Among its particular features I single out its careful treatment of the church’s relation with and responsibility to society. Clearly and simply presented, it should attract a wide audience among Christians wanting a systematic guide to the main theological themes in the New Testament."
--I. Howard Marshall, University of Aberdeen, Scotland
