The Objectives of The Letters of Paul 2nd edition
Target Audience:
The target audience of The Letters of Paul 2nd edtion is second-year undergraduate college students (with perhaps one religion course prerequisite) and first-year seminarians. It is written as an introductory textbook for private, religious colleges and universities and seminaries as well as public universities. It is most appropriate in classes on the Life and Letters of Paul or a supplement al text to New Testament Introduction, Early Christianity or Christian Origins.
Chapter one: The World of the New Testament
The authors present a very concise introduction to the Gospels and Acts. The book starts with a historical background to the gospels, as well as a review of critical methods used to study ancient texts, before jumping into the texts themselves. The Authors use extensive footnotes to cite their sources. It isn't the most in depth intro to the Gospels and Acts, but with its historical context and readily available sources it's a sure pick for a layperson interested in the subject.

And also I wrote:
My purpose for this book is to supplement my NT introduction (Cascade, 2011) and others like it with a focus on specific questions related to each book: When and why was it written? By whom and to whom? What are some of its special features (genre, structure, style)? How soon (or late) was it included in the NT collection? Answers to many of these questions are tentative. The āassured results of scholarshipā are in continual need of reevaluation. Since the 1980s a host of diverse cultural, historical, ideological, socio-rhetorical, literary and contextual studies have emerged, and I have to endeavored include them when relevant to the topic of discussion.
