Customer Reviews

A very helpful resource.

This is my first review for Zondervan. I must say that they hit a home run with this book. I received it today in the post. I do not normally review a book this quickly, but was curious about this book. I sat down for about an hour poring over the book. The introduction stated that there is an abundance of information available about the New Testament. I must say that they packed much of it into this one. I was amazed at all of the charts that were in the book. I shall list some of them here: Political and Religious Leaders First Century Emporors, Prefects, Rulers in Judea, and in Israel Roman Emporors in NT Times The Ptolemies The Seleucids The Maccabees The High Priests and more General Material The Books of the NT (arranged according to the time of writing as well as charts on the doctrinal and literary classification of various books). Weights and Measures NT quotations of OT passages The Gospels Literary relationship of the Synoptics A comparative chart of the four gospels The five gospels of the Jesus Seminar The Apostolic Age Information about Acts Paul's Journeys Chronological charts of the Apostolic age The Pauline epistles Hebrews Revelation Various perspectives on Revelation The list of charts goes on and on, it seems. The charts deal with everything from the secular history of the times to the history of the NT books. I can see how this work would be very useful to any careful student of the NT. It is a good resource. It is also easy to read. The font is easy on the eyes, and the layout is not overly cluttered. I highly recommend it.

Good information

This book has some good information in it that helps put the Bible in an order that makes it easier to understand.

comprehensive set of charts

I have looked for many of these charts, but never could find them all in one place. Also, he created many new ones that are very useful for me, and for the class I teach.
