New Testament Studies
The study of the 27 books of the Christian Bible that form the second part of the Christian biblical canon, known as the New Testament. This field of study focuses on the historical, cultural, literary, and theological aspects of the writings that document the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the early Christian church and its beliefs, practices, and development. Scholars in this field analyze the texts, languages, contexts, and interpretations of the New Testament to gain a deeper understanding of its significance and influence on Christian theology, ethics, worship, and traditions.
