So I'm going to ask you to come at the New Testament,though, from the outside. If you feel like you know something about it, put those aside for the moment, because when we do the class we'll be trying to get you to see this document as if for the first time, to see early Christianity completely as if for the first time.

所以我要求你们客观地研究新约，如果你觉得你对它略知一二，就请先遗忘片刻，因为我希望你们上课阅读文本时,当做与其第一次接触，第一次接触早期基督教。
