Our conclusion from this survey is, therefore, that we have found nothing to upset the verdict, to which we have been led by critical investigation of the Acts of the Apostles: the second and third Gospels, as well as the Acts, were composed while St. Paul was still alive, and that the first gospel came into being only a few years earlier. - Adolf Harnack

The publication of the King James version of the Bible, translated between 1603 and 1611, coincided with an extraordinary flowering of English literature and is universally acknowledged as the greatest influence on English-language literature in history. Now, world-class literary writers introduce the book of the King James Bible in a series of beautifully designed, small-format volumes. The introducers' passionate, provocative, and personal engagements with the spirituality and the language of the text make the Bible come alive as a stunning work of literature and remind us of its overwhelming contemporary relevance.

Unlike other gospels, his parables are obscure, to be explained secretly to his followers. With an introduction by Nick Cave
This paradigm-shifting study is the first book-length investigation into the compositional dates of the New Testament to be published in over forty years. It argues that, with the notable exception of the undisputed Pauline Epistles, most New Testament texts were composed twenty to thirty years earlier than is typically supposed by contemporary biblical scholars. What emerges is a revised view of how quickly early Christians produced what became the seminal texts for their new movement.
A lively, readable and up-to-date guide to the Synoptic Problem, ideal for undergraduate students, and the general reader.
"... the Dead Sea Scrolls inspired this book. They accustomed me to the Hebrew in use at the time of Christ and, quite easily, I came to recognize in the Greek of the Gospel of St. Mark, as though in transparency, this same Hebraic language, which was simply carbon copied in Greek. But this intuition could be false and misleading; it was therefore necessary to verify it scientifically. .... [from back cover]
