New Testament Survey

"The New Testament is worth a lifetime of study, for it answers the most significant questions people ask," says Paul Benware. What is the purpose of life? Is there true hope? What is God like? Can I be freed from guilt and sin? Jesus Christ is the only answer to these questions. He is the key to God's new covenant, the central theme of the New Testament.

To fully appreciate the new covenant, the lives and times of Christ and the New Testament writers must be explored. "Survey of the New Testament" organizes this essential information around the expectation, institution, and fulfillment of the new covenant. Dr. Benware, in his book-by-book analysis of the entire New Testament, includes a chronological study of the life of Christ, an examination of the political and ideological forces of the 1st-century Roman world, and a look at the intertestamental period. To clarify the order and pattern of the New Testament, Dr. Benware links each epistle to its historical basis: the book of Acts. Thirty tables are also included that can be very useful.

"Survey of the New Testament" is written to provide the reader with a richer understanding of God's precious new covenant. Indeed, there is no other subject of study more worthy of our time and energy.
