About
To navigate through every single verse of the New Testament, and show how they were put together in a book is not an easy task. To make sense of the life and death of Jesus is no less challenging. But not for Jon Valset!
In about 700 pages and over 200 topics, one is exposed to stories and events that have been systematically and meticulously analyzed and cross-referenced. At times, irreverent and controversial, but without preconceived notions or doctrinal goals, he extends his probing to works by contemporary writers for more fascinating incidents related to Jesus, and the epoch in which he lived. He carries his research down to the smallest detail, connects the dots, fills in the blanks, and comes up with assessments and conclusions that are hard to dispute.
Frequent annotations and insightful commentary throughout Probing the New Testament bring greater clarity and understanding of the Holy Text.
In his journey for truth, Valset elaborates on many passages of the New Testament claiming prophetic credibility in the Old Testament. He turns his attention to the effects of the hatred Roman occupation of the land, and to other political and religious forces controlling everyone's life. From here, it was only a short step to the harsh conditions that made inevitable Jesus's death on the Cross. He, then, goes on to discuss in great detail how acceptance of new theological ideas by Gentiles led to the creation of early Christianity.
Probing the New Testament is a real eye-opener, sure to please those with a keen and open intellect.
