New Testament Survey

I purchased this book for an online class that I am taking. I probably wouldn't have purchased it otherwise. Very dry reading.

Family Bible Study Material

My family and I are using this as the main text for our Bible study. My step-dad, who is one of the two people leading the study, dove straight into the book as soon as he got it. I find that the historical background in the text provides a lot of cultural understanding of the peoples of the New Testament. I found that I am better able to understand a lot of the teachings of Christ and His apostles after reading this book. However, this is not for readers who want a simple understanding of the Bible and New Testament times. It is very indepth and I do not recommend it for light study. There are many other surveys out there that are basic outlines that are much better than this one. With that being said, if you are interested in a strong and deep understanding of the New Testament in both a religious and historical setting, then this is the book for you.

Good Book

I read this book as part of a New Testament Literature course. I was pleased to learn about the archeological and historical facts that contributed to learning about the New Testament in its original context. I am able to study the scriptures and obtain a clearer picture of what is being said.

The Classic New Testament Introduction

Don't be fooled by the more recent New Testament Survey books published in the last few years. Tenney's work is still the classic reference work in its field and the best introduction to the New Testament you can buy. To prove the point, this text is still used by most conservative Bible Colleges for their core NTS course. It is thorough, complete, and unparalleled, and builds a firm foundation for future Bible study.
