New Testaments

In this exciting volume, a renowned New Testament scholar provides his lectures on New Testament theology and provides us a window on his approach on a variety of issues. He describes the task as follows: ""New Testament theology is the art of giving coherence to the collective witness of the twenty-seven New Testament documents as they attest to the Christian faith while not sacrificing the historical particularity of any one text or author within the canon, and to do this as clearly as possible and with as much consistency and unity as possible . . . New Testament theology deals with all the New Testament. We must resist the tendency to find a canon within the canon or to neglect some lesser figures in the New Testament canon . . . New Testament theology is first of all a descriptive task--i.e., we must first try to describe what is there. But given our stance toward Scripture, what we describe also becomes prescriptive or normative . . . We must never forget that the writings of the New Testament are ad hoc documents, written in each and every case to speak to a specific need. Thus, rather than careful, systematic presentations of theology (such as in a book or a lecture), the earliest Christian theology is worked out in the marketplace, as it were. Therefore, we must be careful not to force the New Testament writers to answer all of our questions, nor even to use our logic or thought forms."" (excerpted from chapter 1)

Reviews for The Kingdom of God Is Among You: Lectures to My Students on New Testament Theology

""In Gordon Fee's posthumous The Kingdom of God Is among You, this veteran Pauline scholar, from whom I have learned so much, turns his attention to the coherency of the message of the sweep of the New Testament in a way that draws from the best of older scholarship, shifts the characteristic emphases of most NT theology with his charismatic themes, and outlines a theology that leads us to worship. This book, as was the life of Gordon Fee, is truly doxological."" --Scot McKnight, professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary ""In a time when global Pentecostalism is taken seriously both by the academy and the church, new generations need the wisdom of mentors like Gordon Fee. This collection of Fee's lectures on New Testament theology frames him as a scholar of his time and a prophet for ours, demonstrating that the breath of the Spirit grounds and inspires though the winds of scholarship may blow and shift."" --Holly Beers, associate professor of religious studies, Westmont College ""This New Testament theology captures the best of Gordon Fee: it is profound, pastoral, and passionate. Indeed, this is not only the voice of Fee--it is his true legacy."" --Mikael Tellbe, associate professor of New Testament studies, ALT School of Theology ""Since the 1980s, I've admired the late Gordon Fee, a Pentecostal scholar who profoundly resonated with my own roots. His heartfelt recorded lectures from Gordon-Conwell to Regent College deeply touched and changed me. Every one of his books holds a place in my library. Now, The Kingdom of God Is among You, edited by his accomplished daughter Cherith, emerges as a vital continuation of his legacy in Pentecostal scholarship."" --Mark J. Chironna, founding and lead pastor, Church on the Living Edge ""For decades, students in classrooms and at seminar tables were nourished by Gordon Fee's passionate and nourishing teaching on the New Testament. Now, with the release of The Kingdom of God Is among You, Christians in church halls and at kitchen tables can also be fed by Fee's teaching as they think, pray, and sing their way through the New Testament. This is a good and timely thing."" --Dean Pinter, rector, St. Aidan Anglican Church
