Reviews

[Richard Olds · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book does a great job at introducing each book in a scholarly manner without getting so bogged down with jargon as to be unapproachable. Great for seminary students or anyone wanting to know more about the New Testament.

[Josh Trice · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a good, introductory read to the New Testament. It is not exhaustive, but does give bits of helpful information here and there. It reads a little dry and is not the most accessible or enjoyable read, but good nonetheless.
