__"A remarkable achievement"__ "The vast number of studies on the New Testament can lead to despair, but these essays come to the rescue. They provide an entry point for the major topics, summarize the breadth of the contributions (both the helpful and the unusual), and provide the bibliographic resources by which one may proceed."  
--__Klyne Snodgrass__, North Park Theological Seminary (emeritus)  
  
"As the fleet of specialized disciplines within New Testament studies sails forward into waters unknown, we need to know where we've come from, where we're heading, and what kind of boat we're in. Thankfully, McKnight and Gupta have marshaled an impressive and diverse array of scholars who can give us an updated report from the crow's nest."  
--__Nicholas Perrin__, Trinity International University  
  
"Rich in resources and thorough in content, The State of New Testament Studies offers a vital resource for the new millennium. I will certainly put this into the hands of my students and keep it easily accessible for myself."  
--__Amy Peeler__, Wheaton College  
  
"What a remarkable achievement and welcome contribution! McKnight and Gupta have gathered a thoughtful range of scholars to provide a needed, current 'state of the art' discussion of the New Testament. A valuable resource for years to come."  
--__Jonathan T. Pennington__, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary  
  
"Readers at all levels who value the importance of situating New Testament research on the historical bedrock of scholarly insight will find this compendium deeply satisfying."
