 The Writings of the New Testament: An Interpretation Luke T. Johnson 
 Description From The Publisher: New technologies are revolutionizing research capabilities and pedagogical approaches. To meet the needs of an increasingly technology-savvy public, Fortress Press presents widely-used volumes in a new CD-ROM format. Features include: The complete, searchable text of the book; glossary hyperlinked to key words in the text; additional study questions; student helps for writing papers; internet links to additional resources; note-taking, bookmarking, and highlighting capabilities. The completely revised and updated version of Johnson’s very successful introduction to the New Testament (1999) is now available with a CD-ROM that contains the entire original text with copious searching and researching features, plus hyper-links to the NRSV. Johnson organizes his presentation in six major sections: (1) The Symbolic World of the New Testament, (2) The Christian Experience, (3) The Synoptic Tradition, (4) Pauline Traditions, (5) Other Canonical Witnesses, and (6) The Johannine Tradition. Reviews "Johnson is extraordinarily successful in leading the reader into the New Testament texts themselves. . . Imaginative in conception, clear in presentation, and lively in style, the book deserves the wide use it is sure to enjoy for some time to come." —Abraham J. Malherbe "Nothing available so well combines knowledge of the history and literature with concern for the lived experience behind the New Testament texts." —John R. Donahue, S.J. "By focusing upon the inner social and religious experiences of the primitive Christian communities in which the writings of the New Testament were produced, Johnson is able to stress literary qualities and social dynamics. . . It is a very attractive work. . . Johnson's hand is a guiding and a sure one, based upon thoroughly researched and contemporary information." —William G. Doty
