A Popular Introduction to the New Testament (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Popular Introduction to the New Testament

The New Testament. What is it? We now regard it as a single book. We speak of it in the singular number, and lose sight, by so doing, Of some most important facts in its history. The New Testament is not one book, but seven-and-twenty pieces, the work of eight or nine authors, writing, it is true, on the same subject-matter, but writing at different times, nearly always for different readers, for the most part under differing circumstances, and so from different points of View. And we need to bear this constantly in mind if the character of all its teaching is to be properly understood. It is worth while, then, to know how these several pieces were brought into one collection.
