Survey of the New Testament- Everyman's Bible Commentary

by Paul N. Benware

Book Overview

"The New Testament is worthy of a lifetime of study, as it answers the most significant questions people have asked," says Paul Benware.

Customer Reviews

Clear, concise, compact, and complete

This small book (approximately 5" x 7") summarizes each book in a few pages giving the purpose, geography, etc of the book. It's a good "Cliffs Notes" type of book which will help the reader to more fully receive the word of God as he reads it.

Excellent book. Very concise. Perfect for the student and nice to have in your library. Fast Shipping and in perfect condition.

Excellent study guide

The book is well written and easy to read. It is an excellent companion to the New Testament in a New Testament studies class.

Guide to Scriptures.

Most Christians enjoy reading the Bible. However, just about everyone who reads the Bible has trouble understanding how all the different names, concepts, dates, numbers, etcetra fit into the overall picture. For people who don't own a study Bible that explains many of these textual references, Paul N. Benware's SURVEY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT is a great book to have. The book is very compact and rather small, making it easy to carry around. It's written in modern English and is easy to read. It's full of pictures, charts, and diagrams as well as a brief overview of each book of the Old Testament. Even for those who have a study Bible and are familiar with the Old Testament, SURVEY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT is a nice companion piece to have as a reference. After all, you can't always chug Strong's Concordance, a book of Ancient Atlases, and other materials with you everywhere you go. But you can bring along this small companion piece.

Excellent study of the New Testament

Paul Benware has written an excellent review of each book of the Christian Scriptures (New Testament). He discusses the authorship, date, purpose, outline, themes and summary of each book. This survey is written from a Fundamentalist Christian point of view. For example, the author belives that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were written by authors with those names. A liberal Christian would not find this book to be particularly helpful.
