Product Description
Before coming to grips with an individual verse or passage in the New Testament, Bible students and expositors must understand how it relates to the theme of the book. This nontechnical survey offers readers a working understanding of the New Testament by providing the theological tools necessary to synthesize biblical passages into themes. It incorporates historical and cultural backgrounds without becoming a book on manners and customs and deals with the actual text of Scripture without becoming a verse-by-verse commentary. Pictures, charts, and outlines aid comprehension. This classic text, which has served students well for many years, is now available in paperback.

Semi-technical conservative treatment July 8, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book should really be viewed as a study bible for the New Testament without the bible part! It contains sections on the authorship, setting, purpose and outline of each book in the New Testament. The treatments given are extensive; there is also a section that harmonizes the Gospels. The outlines are detailed and there is typically 5-10 lines of commentary for every chapter.
The book is fairly even handed in the treatment it gives of the various conservative opinions on controversial subjects (such as the dating of the Gospels). The more liberal opinions are mentioned but not usually taken seriously. Having discussed the various options the author usually lands on the 'standard' conservative view.
In short this book does not really break any new ground; and it isn't trying to. It is a useful compendium of 'standard' opinion. I would certainly recommend it for anyone that doesn't have a good study bible or for anyone with the interest to sit down and read cover to cover.
It can and is used for a number of degree level courses although frankly I don't think it contains anything that would prove difficult for the casual but interested reader.
Gromacki's NT Survey August 20, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Added to a collection of four other New Testament Surveys from the likes of Tenney, F.F. Bruce, and Ferguson, Gromacki's contribution to this subject is a welcome addition. I was impressed with his more than average treatment of the material considering the nature of a survey of the New Testament.
