| Summary: | The author addresses himself in this book to the problem of differences and similarities in the theologies of the New Testament writers, and seeks to show in this examination what he calls the pattern of New Testament truth. He argues against an overemphasis upon Gnosticism in the study of the background of the New Testament; and then goes on to consider a philosophical movement, prevalent during the first century, about which much more is known -- Greek dualism, especially as expressed by Plato, Plutarch and Philo. He points out the differences between Greek and New Testament thought, and goes on to contrast the Greek view of reality with that of the Hebrews, which he concludes to be essentially that of the New Testament.
