Ragnar Leivestad

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ragnar Skouge Leivestad (1916 - 2002) was a Norwegian theologian. He took the dr.theol. degree in 1954, and was a professor at the University of Oslo from 1966 to 1983. His specialty was the study of the New Testament. English releases include Christ the Conqueror, Ideas of Conflict and Victory in the New Testament (1954) and Christ in His Own Respect (1987, Norwegian version 1982). The New Testament (Greek: ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, Kain¿ Diath¿k¿) is the name given to the second major division of the Christian Bible, the first such division being the much longer Old Testament. Unlike the Old Testament, the contents of the New Testament deal explicitly with Christianity, although both the Old and New Testament are regarded, together, as Sacred Scripture.
