《上帝子民的新約導論》由新約巨擘賴特與伯德合著，其重要貢獻在於，為我們展現了如何同時運用歷史、文學與神學三大進路來閱讀新約。使我們不偏廢任何一種方式，而是透過三者相輔相成來閱讀聖經，獲得更開闊的視域來理解新約。全書一共9部，依循賴特「基督教起源與上帝議題」系列的順序，作者率先用了前4部聚焦「猶太歷史和希羅背景」、「歷史的耶穌」、「耶穌的復活」，奠下讀者對新約歷史脈絡的基礎，其後5 部再進入保羅書信、福音書、大公書信等書卷導覽。為什麼要從歷史出發，這對閱讀新約有什麼幫助？我們必須了解聖經是寫給我們的，卻不是「對著」我們而寫的。聖經文本是在當時的處境與文化所寫成，如果我們不理解原初的歷史文化，很容易不自覺地將自己的世界觀讀入文本中。所以理解歷史脈絡，將能幫助我們透過作者和原初讀者的角度來閱讀經文，而不是自己的角度來閱讀經文。兩位作者，正是把西方這近二三十年對第一世紀前後最新、最豐富的研究成果，深入淺出地引介給一般大眾讀者，使我們能身歷其境地在新約的世界中，閱讀新約！　　【本書特色】　...
