The Bible’s New Testament presents the very good news of rescue from death and of life forever, in parallel accounts, history, letters, and prophecy that can make for difficult reading. Religious terms and ancient names and places further complicate the reading. Format and content leave many readers asking what it all means.

This book reorganizes the traditional New Testament format into a single good-news account. It also sorts into pertinent places in that single account, the doctrine that the multiple accounts, letters, history, and prophecy articulate. You read a bit of the good-news account and then read an interlude of doctrine that the writers drew from it.

This book also removes most of the religious terms and many of the ancient names and places in favor of common, accessible language. It thus supplies a fresh good-news account, one that both sophisticated and unsophisticated readers may appreciate. Each of us receives and interprets the good news as the Spirit communicates it. Enjoy a fresh interpretation.
