Fifteen top-rated professors from twelve leading Christian colleges and universities have collaborated to write this succinct, accessible New Testament survey. Unlike similar entry-level textbooks, all the contributors teach undergraduate students and understand their culture. Introductory issues (Who? When? Where? Why?) are condensed to a one-page snapshot of all the most pertinent information. In addition, more than one hundred applications are highlighted in sidebars to clarify how the New Testament authors might apply their writings to Christians living in the twenty-first century. The book’s uncomplicated structure and creative format make it a perfect tool for Christian education programs in the church and college New Testament courses.

Updated in 2015, this book has a new layout and cover to match What the Old Testament Authors Really Cared About, as well as a hardcover binding for increased durability.
