In this book Charles Puskas and David Crump provide a solid,
student-friendly introduction to the four Gospels and the book of Acts.
Leading students through the texts, highlighting the various literary
devices and themes, and pointing out the historical and cultural
contexts, An Introduction to the Gospels and Acts is a fruitful
collaboration between a mainline scholar (Puskas) and a more evangelical
scholar (Crump), who clearly articulate their own opinions while
charitably engaging a wide spectrum of scholarship.
The coverage of the Gospels and Acts throughout is clear, comprehensive,
and well documented. Maps, charts, outlines, and tables round out the
wealth of information offered here. Evenhanded and nonpolemical, this
text will be valuable both for students with a previous foundation of
biblical study and for those with little or no Bible background.
