Reading the New Testament is a revision and expansion of my earlier work, The New Testament A Taster, with supplementary material used in courses at my college Laidlaw College. It is a general introduction that orientates students to New Testament in their first biblical course with the same name as the book. It covers such things as how the NT was formed, basic exegetical and hermeneutical principles, the Jewish and Greco-Roman background to ...

Ideal for college or seminary students, the volumes provide numerous maps and charts, as well as discussion questions for each chapter and...

Romans is a missional document. Yet, strangely, while many recognize the missional aspects of Romans, few monographs are totally devoted to unpacking Romans from a missional perspective. Romans and the Mission of God does this very thing. Part one explores the background of the letter with an eye to positioning Romans in the story of the mission of God, the apostle, the Roman world, and the early church. Part two considers how Romans is a cont...

Building on Keown's earlier two-volume work, Jesus in a World of Colliding Empires, Understanding Mark's Gospel gives an easily readable introduction to Mark's Gospel. Designed as a textbook, it includes eleven lessons on Mark's Gospel. The first lesson covers background issues important for understanding Mark. The Gospel is then divided into ten sections, each forming a lesson. After reading the biblical passages, students can read each lesso...

Did Paul want his congregations to pick up the ministry of evangelism or did he envisage himself and other 'specialist' proclaimers continuing the ministry of the gospel? Dr. Keown begins by outlining the contours of differing responses to this question ranging from exclusively 'specialist' evangelism to believers' full participation in evangelic mission. He then explores the question through exegetical analysis of Philippians. He argues persu...

A commentary on Paul's letter to the Galatians by accomplished NT scholar, Mark J. Keown. It includes translations, transliterated Greek, and indepth consideration of the primary sources. It is very readable and a great aid for preachers.

Chapter Seven discusses the first church in Jerusalem...

At the time of Christ, world politics was an ebb and flow of colliding empires and forces. The world knew only dynastic succession and rule by force. Israel was swept up in this world. Her expectations of deliverance, while diverse, had in common the anticipation of violent liberation by an alliance of God, the expected one (Theo), and Israel's forces. Her vision included the subjugation of the world to Yahweh. Any messianic claimant would be ...
