This book has been set according to the B. D. syllabus of the Serampore University for the course with the title of this new book. Some decades back this course was entitled as: An Introduction to the New Testament. Thus this course is actually very similar in content to an introduction to the New Testament giving emphasis to the early Christians whose life and faith could mould the writing of the New Testament.
