The journals listed below are written by, and for, professional biblical scholars. Do not be surprised if some articles are hard to follow, and remember that in journal articles, scholars are trying to gain a reputation by advancing new ideas, not by merely repeating well established ideas. Still, reading these articles should give you an idea of what kind of skills are needed for New Testament studies.

Journal of Theological Studies.  Contains a lot of material that is relevant to New Testament studies, e.g. David Instone-Brewer's article about the Eighteen Benedictions, April 2003. (You will soon understand the significance of this).

New Testament Studies.  The title of this journal is self-explanatory.

Journal for the Study of the New Testament. Again, the title says it all. Published by the University of Sheffield, probably the leading centre for New Testament Studies in the United Kingdom.
