often lost in the dryness and formality of academic study. In The New Testament with Imagination William Loader seeks to solve this conundrum. He brings imagination into play to enter the world of the New Testament as he carefully reads key sample passages to go right to the heart of the New Testament's ideas. The New Testament with Imagination offers a unique new way of approaching the New Testament -- nothing else like it is in print --and is accessible to a broad readership even as it will inspire longtime students of scripture to take a fresh look. Loader's historically sound methodology remains focused on imagining what we know through established research, not fanciful reconstruction.
Pioneering a distinctive way of engaging this important material, Loader's work combines the strength of a standard introduction, but without an overload of information, with the depth of a New Testament theology, but in language accessible to first-time readers.
