He then discusses the main stories and major figures in the New Testament. Witherington looks particularly at the Gospels, examining how and why their stories differ and pointing out what these ancient biographies actually say about Jesus. He also surveys the ways that these stories were told and retold, explaining how this literary development has influenced Christian theology, ethics, and social thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At once scholarly and accessible -- it really is written in plain English -- Witherington's guide to the origins and message of the New Testament is eminently suitable as a text for college and seminary students. With each chapter followed by a section called \"Exercises and Questions for Study and Reflection,\" \u003ci\u003eThe New Testament Story\u003c\/i\u003e will also prove valuable to individual readers and ideal for church classes and group Bible studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Witherington  III\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
