That was a well above average Very Short Introduction, well done Kyle Keefer! I think the scope was concisely chosen (some convenience arises, because the title is already a much more limited scope than say 'Postmodernism', but well) such that Keefer could easily introduce the concept of what the literature interpretation of the NT entails, walk through the big 3-4 swaths of the NT, and finally offer some larger context. Especially this last part felt very astute (even though it might just be a normal observation among Religion Studies researchers): how to interpret a canon of texts where it is a priori unclear how they actually belong together apart from the decision of some people 1700 years ago. Most interestingly, just by grouping these texts together (especially in the letters part, or the synoptic gospels vs. John's) a certain cohesion grew out of the myriads of exegeses over the centuries.

If you have some interest in the Bible as a primary historic or literary project (rather than a religious source), this VSI is a nice summary, full of reminders of cool stories in the Bible, setting them in context of literature from all around history.
