Arizona Christian University THE LITERATURE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT SUBMITTED TO MR. JOHN CORREIA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF BIB 497 BIBLICAL STUDIES INTERNSHIP BY ANDREW LINDERER 2 of 38 The New Testament The 27 books of the Bible known as the New Testament span a wide range of topics, genres, themes, and authors. It is important in the interpretation of these books to understand background information including geography, time period, audience, author, and purpose of writing. Without this information significant interpretive errors can and have been made. The purpose of this work is to give a brief overview of the New Testament in order to provide the reader with a basic understanding of the context of each book as well as significant interpretive issues found therein, thereby providing directions to more in depth resources for further study. The Synoptic Gospels The Synoptic Gospels are Synoptic in that they share a majority of their information.
4 of 38 intentionally points out to his Jewish audience in order to argue that Jesus truly was and is the Messiah.7 Matthew contains five major discourses, or sermons, of Jesus.
