NTBF: Bibliography

The New Testament From a Distance (book)
Notes on the New Testament Before Faith (organized collection of notes)

For the purpose of including it in Notes on the History of New Testament Authors, Texts, Formation, and Preservation, I have supplemented it (entries marked by a preceding asterisk) and annotated it (entries with three contiguous dashes followed by the annotation).
