So You Think You're a New Testament Writer

In an exclusive series of interviews, your host Mike Coles brings you five encounters with the men who shaped the New Testament. This is your chance to meet Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, as well as Paul. Discover what motivated them and their writings, and find out more about the consequences of their life-changing encounters with Jesus Christ, known personally to four of them. The live - and lively - studio audience add a whole lot of questions and comment.

Is Paul's anti-women reputation deserved? Can we trust a reformed tax collector to tell the truth? What's the amazing new 'revelation' that John claims to have had on his island of exile? And where can you get hold of the best wine, olive oil, or donkeys, in town? In So you think you're a New Testament writer you'll find answers to these questions!

Mike Coles is Head of RE at Sir John Cass Church of England Secondary School, Stepney, East London. He has written two other best-selling books, The Bible in Cockney (BRF, 2001) and More Bible in Cockney (BRF, 2002).

So you think you're a New Testament Writer is an entertaining dialogue between interviewer Mike Coles and the five shapers of the New Testament: Mathew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul. Each of the five chapters focuses on a different writer and his motivations and life changing encounter with Jesus Christ. Mr Coles's interviews elaborate on the life and death of Jesus Christ with Mark; on women, lepers, tax collectors and the underdog of society with Luke; and on evangelism and spreading the good news with Paul. The contributions of the lively studio audience in a personal questions and comments sessions as well as responses to the writers and their views enhance the book and create a short and enjoyable read for people of all ages.
