The New Testament exists only because of Jesus of Nazareth. Though he wrote nothing himself, he brought about the New Testament--a collection of writings that have shaped world history and still affect the lives of those who read them. This approachable guide introduces the beginner to the study of the New Testament, recognising the need to apply the mind and the heart to this task.
Steve Motyer was in Anglican pastoral ministry for some years before going to teach New Testament at London School of Theology (then London Bible College). After some years he took over the running of the Theology and Counselling course there. He trained as a psychotherapist and then taught in both areas (Bible and Counselling) until he retired in 2016. Now his time is taken up with looking after house and family, helping to run his local church, and bits of retirement teaching back at LST. He feels very thankful for the life God has given him – which he continues to enjoy.
