Product Description
New Testament Survey: Written in a clear, non-technical style, New Testament Survey is an analytical and historical survey which sets forth the message of the New Testament against a fully integrated picture of the world of the first century.
This book brings unity and chronological sequence to New Testament study by weaving the contents of the books around a central theme - the person of Christ. Divisions are the synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of John, the Book of Acts, the Pauline Epistles in chronological order, the General Epistles, and the Book of Revelation.
