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.

    Excellent New Testament Introduction

    Posted by Roy Ingle on Jun. 3, 2013

    Without a doubt, Tenney's book does indeed present an evangelical yet scholarly view of the New Testament. Tenney makes no hesitation to say that he does believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God from the beginning. Tenney's work, however, is not a textual commentary on textual criticism. His book is a brief introduction to the New Testament.

    Tenney's book does a wonderful job of presenting the historical background of the New Testament and using the book of Acts, he traces the footsteps of the Apostles as they wrote the New Testament Canon. At the end of each chapter he includes a very helpful bibliograpy to help the reader study deeper the various books, archeology, and history of what he has dealt with rather quickly.

    I used this book as a freshmen in Bible college and it had a profound influence on my personal understanding of the background and history of the New Testament and the early Church. I highly recommend anyone serious about studying Scripture to purchase and read Tenney's book.
