Scholarly, Evangelical, and Readable

Marshall, Travis, and Paul join together to write on of the finest introductory texts on the New Testament I've ever read. They take seriously issues such as the authorship of some of the New Testament letters (Ephesians, Colossians, the Pastorals, and the Petrine epistles) instead of ignoring the issue as many evangelicals do. I highly recommend this book over any other New Testament introduction for one who considers themself an evangelical. If you don't - still pick it up, its very readable and packed with useful information.
