B01829 - Exploring the New Testament

The New Testament is all about Jesus, from Bethlehem to Calvary and from the Second Coming to the New Jerusalem. Before a systematic study of the New Testament is undertaken it is helpful to have a contextual background and overview. For each of the 27 New Testament books the purpose, outline, main content and leading features are presented. Includes discussion questions and application activities at the end of each chapter. From the back cover: If you desire to more clearly understand how God works in the lives of His people, studying the Bible is the place to begin. And while delving into specific passages is important and necessary, those familiar chapters and stories take on new dimensions when you see them as part of a sweeping panorama of the Bible. EXPLORING THE NEW TESTAMENT takes a survey approach that will deepen your knowledge of God and, in turn, enrich your life. You'll gain an overview of the entire New Testament, consider the respective writers and their writings, and lay a solid foundation for understanding the message and revelation of Jesus Christ. Chapters conclude with application activities as well as discussion questions that not only test your grasp of the materials, but also provide you with an opportunity for more detailed and intensive study. As you strive to fulfill the challenge of 2 Timothy 2:15--that of showing yourself approved unto God as you rightly divide His word of truth--you'll enjoy a truly rewarding experience that will also expand your biblical horizons.
