This work is primarily written as a class manual for those who wish to deepen their understanding of and love for the New Testament. It is a companion to guide the reader of the New Testament on his or her pilgrimage. It furnishes a few key signposts in terms of the basic ideas of how the biblical text came about, its objective value and special character and inspiration, the Synoptic Problem and the Canon of the New Testament. Some tools for interpretation are offered, and then some basic themes are treated, in particular the Church, the Holy Eucharist, Mary, the Mother of God, the role of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and the interplay between faith and reason in the New Testament.
