Customer Reviews

Great book!!
This book is a great introduction to the varied and colourful world of the New Testament.

It outlines, at an accessible level, the basics of New Testament theology and gives the reader the opportunity to question for themselves what they believe.

This book is good for anyone; in particular those studying theology, and will give you a greater depth of understanding of the atmosphere of the New Testament World.

A must read!!

disssapointed
I am halfway through this book and am sad at what I have read so far as it does not treat the blble as being authoritive. True christians use it every day for guidance. ALSO hope for the future. I am glad it is not my bible as we would be always argueing
