A Survey of the New Testament: 5th Edition Hardcover – June 24, 2012

This book is an outstanding book to have! It gives you so much detail of the New Testament without overwhelming you and confusing you. It helped me understand the New Testament in a new light, and since I needed it for a class I was taking, I thought it would be better to get a book version, it was worth it! It came in great condition, I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing and wanting to learn a little bit about the New Testament.

Used this textbook for one of my college courses. Reads easily and has good detail for what I needed.

Beautiful insight into New Testament. Companion to Daily Bible reading greatly enhanced New book safely shipped

I purchased this book to support a divinity class on the New Testament. I found this book to be very helpful. The layout of the book reflects big print, is easy to read and fairly easy to follow. A cursory review of any book site will find the book well with mostly positive reviews from many who have used this book as a companion to or assigned reading material of New Testament seminary courses as well as those who have endeavored to gain additional insight into New Testament reading. Most will find this book easy to read and follow. Even those not familiar with the New Testament will find this book a valuable resource. The contents include five parts. There is an evolution to how the parts are presented, first explaining the political and cultural background that reflect the historical, religious and philosophical context and settings that influence the New Testament. One drawback to the book is that it provides terms but does NOT provide the meaning, only the pronunciation. However, that slight was not significant enough for me to rate it 4.

Needed this for college classes. Was great and I used it a-lot for references.

This is the first time I’ve read into the Historical richness of the New Testament, and this book made it fairly easy to follow. In a layout sense, the book does not condense the wording like others do and it provides a large number of imageries that help a reader visualize the moments or places of History. I also felt the outline of each chapter and the flow from chapter to chapter was very well placed, with the exception of terminology. Some terms seemed harder to grasp than others, as some of the terms did not provide an actual meaning (but rather pronunciations). When it comes to the content of the actual book, I was amazed. As I read, I would often feel as if I was there in that time period surrounded by the different people experiencing what became the New Testament. Learning about who Paul was, is probably what had me the most intrigued, and as I read I felt like I met a whole new person. I read who Paul was as a Pharisee, a person, and as a follower – but could visualize it as if a film was playing. At times, I felt overwhelmed with all the content (Mind you I am no History Major) but I was very impressed with how much history can be found in this book. I purchased this solely as a requirement for my college course, but I think I’ll be holding on to this one. I think this book would be a great addition to local public or church libraries.

I'm glad I purchased this book for school and not a digital copy. This is easily a book I will continue to read after the class end. It's laid out in a way that makes it easy to read. Especially for someone like me who suffered with focusing and keeping interest in a book.
