Résumé : |
A heavy burden of despair weighed down the world into which Jesus was born. But his advent brought a ‘conquering, newborn joy’ which finds expression in Christian experience and theology. Indeed, the New Testament is the most joyful book in the world.
William Morrice, who is New Testament Tutor and Librarian at St. John’s College, Durham, has made a special study of this basic Christian concept. He shows how the New Testament contains a rich profusion of different words reflecting various aspects of Christian joy. In addition, he examines the distinctive contribution made by each writer and within each group of New Testament books. 'Today', writes A. M. Hunter in the Foreword, 'when we live in a world when men’s hearts again fail them for fear of what may be in store for mankind, Dr Morrice’s book is a rousing recall of that radiant optimism which began with the coming of Christ and which fills the pages of the New Testament.’ |
