The nature of the authority of the Bible is crucial. In this outstanding study, the author first considers various theories of the nature of inspiration. This leads to a consideration of the 'entire trustworthiness' of the Bible, the inerrancy debate, and the place of biblical criticism. From determining the original meaning of the text, Professor Marshall turns to the Bible's contemporary significance and meaning before finally presenting the authority of Scripture for today. 'The Bible is precious to the Christian believer, not because it is regarded as some kind of magical oracle but because here one hears and receives the message of a gracious God who, having revealed himself supremely in this Son Jesus Christ, continues to reveal himself and through the pages of Scripture'

Apart from the apostle Paul, Luke is arguably the most influential force in the canon of the New Testament. His Gospel and Acts occupy almost a third of the New Testament. Marshall provides us with a lucid guide to Luke's theology of salvation as it is unfurled in Gospel narrative, but always with an eye on its ongoing development in his companion work, the Acts.

The Christian understanding of the meaning of the death of Jesus Christ and its relationship to the salvation of sinful humanity is currently the subject of intense debate and criticism. The papers covering this important area are expanded versions of the 2006 series of Chuen King Lectures given in the Chinese University of Hong Kong. In the first two chapters Howard Marshall discusses the nature of the human plight in relation to the judgment of God and then offers a nuanced defence of the doctrine of the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ for sinners. The third chapter examines the place of the resurrection of Christ as an integral part of the process whereby sinners are put in the right with God. In the final chapter argues that in our communication of the gospel today the New Testament concept of reconciliation may be the most comprehensive and apt expression of the lasting significance of the death of Christ.

La Teolog a del Nuevo Testamento de Marshall se distingue por su organizaci n del material y su enfoque misionero como se desprende del subt tulo: "muchos testigos, un solo evangelio", siendo de la peculiar visi n de Marshall de que: «toda la teolog a del Nuevo Testamento es una teolog a misionera .El enfoque de la obra es netamente evang lico, pero con una talla acad mica que la convierte en lectura obligada a n para los m s liberales que no pasa por alto las m s recientes propuestas en los estudios paulinos ni el escabroso tema de la autor a de sus ep stolas.Pero lo m s valioso de la Teolog a del Nuevo Testamento de Marshall en relaci n con otras teolog as, es su utilidad para el predicador. Adem s de la habitual y consabida reflexi n teol gica, aporta tambi n un fondo muy valioso de ideas para la exposici n de la Palabra.Theology of the New TestamentMarshall's Theology of the New Testament is distinguished by its organization of the content and its missionary approach as is evident from the subtitle: "many witnesses, one gospel", being of Marshall's peculiar view that: "all New Testament theology is a missionary theology".Evangelical, but with a scholarly stature that makes it a must-read even for the most liberal that does not overlook the most recent proposals in Pauline studies, nor does it overlook the difficult subject of the authorship of his epistles, but it does so from such a balanced perspective that it is admirable. But the most valuable aspect of Marshall's Theology of the New Testament in relation to other theologies is its usefulness for the preacher. In addition to the usual and usual theological reflection, it also provides a very valuable fund of ideas for the exposition of the Word.
