This is a new edition of the late Bishop Neill's widely acclaimed book, revised, expanded, and brought up to date by his former colleague the Revd Tom Wright. This masterly survey now describes the historical development of New Testament criticism from 1861 (the year Lightfoot became Hulsean Professor of Divinity at Cambridge) to the present day, the contrasting personalities of scholars, and the permanent contributions made by various schools. The study concludes with a new chapter by Tom Wright, covering New Testament scholarship of the last twenty five years.

"It is probably his attention to the personalities of the scholars involved in the debate which makes Bishop Stephen Neill's history of a century of New Testament interpretations of such absorbing interest....His knowledge of the major works of New Testament criticism in five languages is astonishing....Altogether an excellent book."--Times Literary Supplement, on the first edition
"I have no problem in seconding the judgment of the Times Literary Supplement that this is, indeed, 'an excellent book.'"--Toronto Journal of Theology
