This book serves two purposes: 1)As an invitation to the New Testament from a Christological perspective as the title of the book suggests and 2) as a summary review of the New Testament for anyone already familiar with its theology who may want to read a quick overview. There are questions at the conclusion of each New Testament book summary that are useful in helping the reader retain the material. This book can also be used to assist anyone who may be teaching a New Testament course within the church or it can be given as a gift to introduce anyone young or old to the New Testament as a whole. In short, it is a great addition to anyone's personal library of books about the Bible and its theology.
