Apocalyptic and the New Testament Biblical Studies: Bloomsbury Academic Collections Bringing back into print many titles from the renowned British theological publishers T&T Clark, this is a fascinating collection comprising seven sets of Biblical Studies titles. Founded in 1821 in Edinburgh, and still publishing under its own name to this day, T&T Clark established itself early on as the doyen of Biblical Studies publishing, most notably with its translations of influential theological titles. This collection encompasses the numerous and varied subjects of Biblical Studies, starting with the history of Judaism and the Hebrew Bible, then tracing the origins and influences of early Christianity, looking at the epistolary writings of the New Testament, giving in-depth analyses and interpretation of the Gospels and its writers, as well as detailing criticism of the Bible itself over the years and examining the complex and diverse languages of the Bible. The collection is available both in e-book and print versions.
