Harrison, Everett F. Introduction to the New Testament.  Grand Rapids, MI:  William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1974.  A 1990-edition is available at: http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-New-Testament-Everett-Harrison/dp/0802847862/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1377042673&sr=8-4&keywords=everett+f.+harrison

After twenty-five years of teaching seminary as a “double doctor,” this 507-page introduction was motivated by watching his student “grow weary of taking notes diligently from day to day in the classroom” (Preface).  Can’t go to seminary?  Here is one workable and serviceable volume.

Very little is available on Mr. (Rev. Dr. Prof.) Harrison’s life.  He was double-doctored. We have two notes.

From Moody Press, we get this brief note. http://www.moodypublishers.com/pub_authorDetail.aspx?id=41798&aid=1101
