Overview

C. K. Barrett’s gifts as a communicator are well displayed in this collection of his writings. He takes his readers on a series of well-organized expeditions into areas of controversy. He cuts a clear pathway through the intricacies of scholarly dispute and brings us close to the minds and hearts of the men of the New Testament. Two lectures (to English audiences) on St. John’s Gospel and three (given originally in German) on the Acts of the Apostles take the central place in the book, which concludes with a vindication of theology as an academic discipline.
