Excellent reference
This book is an excellent reference with great, in-depth discussion of the structure of the the New Testament and placing it in a cultural and literary context. It is a fine book to use in a classroom.

Textbook on the New Testament, May 5, 2000
This review is from: The New Testament: Proclamation and Parenesis, Myth and History (Paperback)
The book was very hard for me to read and concentrate on. It takes a very in depth look at the social-historical context, cultural and religious environment, and interpretation of the New Testament. If you are conservative or liberal in your view of the Bible, Perrin will both upset you and satisfy you. He is somewhere in the middle. This book is definately not for the average person, but a real scholar interested in learing everything about the New Testament. While I didn't agree with everything said in the book, I did learn a great deal about 1st century life, which does help in understanding the New Testament.
