Harrington, SJ.  aNew York :bPaulist Press,c[2012]  a1 online resource (xvii, 122 p.)  aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 107-114) and indexes.0 aInterpreting the New Testament -- The Dead Sea scrolls and early Judaism -- Jesus, Prophet of God's kingdom -- The Evangelists as authors -- New perspectives on Paul and Judaism -- Christians in the Roman Empire.  aWitnesses to the Word is based on the description of the Gospel writers in Dei verbum 19, which in turn alludes to Luke's description of his sources in the prologue to his Gospel (Luke 1:1-4). In the New Testament the word can refer to the person of Jesus (In the beginning was the Word, John 1:1) and to the good news about Jesus proclaimed by the early Christians and now preserved in the New Testament. Moreover, the modern scholars whose works are reported in this book have been in their own ways witnesses to the word of Scripture in that they have devoted their lives to the serious study of the New Testament.  aHarrington's goal is to show that scholarly study of the New Testament is both necessary and fruitful, and that a simplistic reading of Scripture does not do justice to its richness and will only impoverish the text and the reader. This book is truly a roadmap to New Testament study over the past fifty years. Throughout the author maintains a positive and constructive tone, long having been convinced that there need not exist an ugly ditch between the academic study of the Bible and the believer. Rather, in keeping with the Catholic Church in its recent official statements about the Bible and its interpretation, he believes that serious study of the Bible should both inform and enrich the life of the believer.  aDescription based on print version record.00aBible.pNew TestamentxCriticism, interpretation, etc.00aBible.pNew TestamentxHermeneutics.20aCatholic ChurchxDoctrines. 7aRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / New Testament2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:aHarrington, Daniel J.tWitnesses to the Word.dNew York : Paulist Press, [2012]z9780809148202w(DLC)  2012039354w(OCoLC)818985106403EBSCOhostuhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=587713  aEBSCOhostbEBSCn587713  acpp1723AUTO  a02bN$T  c53393d53393
