The New Testament has shaped human cultures for millennia and is read by Christians, people of other religious traditions, and secular people in different tongues, cultural backgrounds, social contexts, and life circumstances. As global citizens living in the twenty-first century, we have to remember how the gospel of Jesus Christ has been misused to oppress and construct the other, whether the other is Jewish people, women, racial and ethnic minorities, colonized people, or queer people, so that history will not be repeated. The availability of so many new resources and methods in New Testament studies and the addition of underrepresented voices from all over the world are cause for celebration. New Testament reading in the contemporary world has become more global, multicentered, and plurivocal, and contributes to interreligious understanding. The interpretation of the New Testament has also been brought to the public square, as people look for insights from the Bible to address problems of our day. I hope that those among the younger generation who profess that they are “spiritual but not religious” will also appreciate the wisdom in the New Testament, as one of the most fascinating and influential religious and spiritual literatures of humankind.
