520 _a"The Books of the New Testament" by Leighton Pullan is a comprehensive introduction to the New Testament, likely written in the early 20th century. This work aims to provide readers with an accessible overview of the New Testament, its contents, and its historical significance without demanding specialized knowledge of biblical languages. The author lays out the importance of the New Testament as a record of the new covenant established by Jesus Christ and comprises discussions on the New Testament's canon, language, and individual books. At the start of the text, Pullan discusses the naming and significance of the New Testament, describing it as a crucial gift to believers following Christ's ascension, where it serves as a record of God's binding covenant with humanity. He explores the early history of the New Testament’s classification as a canon, noting how various books were recognized and affirmed by the early Church, and highlights the linguistic background, pointing out that while many early Christian writings might have been in Aramaic, the New Testament is primarily Greek. The opening chapters set the groundwork for a deeper exploration of each gospel and epistle, emphasizing the unity and diversity among these texts as they narrate the life and teachings of Jesus and the early Christian community.
