Semi-technical conservative treatment

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

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.
