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 nontechnical survey offers readers a working understanding of the New Testament by providing the theological tools necessary to synthesize biblical passages into themes.
