Please add this wonderful scholarly and thorough introduction to the New Testament to Logos. The book is 1008 pages in print and has a wealth of tables and maps. It's written by the brilliant Carl R. Holladay, the Charles Howard Candler Professor Emeritus of New Testament at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. This is relatively new (2017) so the bibliography is very much up to date. This would be a treasure trove resource to have as searchable in your Logos library.

Description:
Christian interpretation of the Bible is not a simple task. While finding both its beginning and end in the theological claim that Scripture reveals to us "what God has done in Christ," Christian interpretation demands much more. The interaction between believer and text is also conversation between reader and interpretive community, both ancient and modern. Theological interpretation entails close readings of texts but also a close analysis of contexts―the social and political shape of the Mediterranean world as well as our own. Interpretation requires the interweaving of theology, history, and literature.
In Introduction to the New Testament Carl R. Holladay does just that. He roots each of the New Testament’s twenty-seven writings in their historical, literary, and theological contexts. A true "Reference Edition," Holladay provides thorough, detailed, and exacting overviews, background material, and textual analysis. Holladay leads readers to consider questions of canon, authority, and genre that shape the formation of the text and the text’s formation of the identity, theology, and mission of the church today. This Introduction does not leave its readers stranded in the first century; it also intentionally connects the message of the New Testament to the issues facing its faithful readers today. No stone goes unturned and no issue unexamined―Holladay’s Introduction to the New Testament is an essential text for any serious student of biblical interpretation.
