The History of Early Christian Literature: The Writings of the New Testament is a comprehensive examination of the origins, development, and significance of the texts that make up the New Testament.

He examines the various genres and styles of writing found within the New Testament, including the Gospels, the Epistles, and the Book of Revelation, and discusses the historical and theological themes that run throughout these texts.Throughout the book, Von Soden draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient manuscripts, archaeological evidence, and the writings of early Christian theologians and scholars. He also provides a detailed analysis of the textual history of the New Testament, including the process of canonization and the various translations and revisions that have occurred over the centuries.Overall, The History of Early Christian Literature: The Writings of the New Testament is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the origins and development of Christianity and the New Testament.
