The Great Themes of Scripture: New Testament

"You are about to set out on a great adventure!" Richard Rohr told his original listeners when The Great Themes of Scripture talks were recorded for St. Anthony Messenger Press in 1973. Now, more than 100,000 tapes later, these powerful, challenging, inspiring talks are available in print thanks to the editing of Joseph Martos. 

This second volume offers newcomers to the New Testament, sometimes called the New Covenant to signify a new relationship between humanity and God. From the viewpoint of salvation history, the New Testament is the completion and the culmination of the Old Testament. In terms of length, it is only a small portion of the entire Bible, and yet it is that portion which brings it all together. Richard Rohr looks at the many ways salvation themes are proclaimed by the various authors and literary styles of the New Testament.
