This revised edition of Gundry's Survey of the New Testament goes beyond providing background information and technical introductory material and leads students to read the New Testament itself. Whenever possible general questions of introduction and background are tied to assigned readings covering the entire New Testament. In addition, comments on these readings help students with interpretation and follow the flow of thought from one passage to another. Features include: • New design with four-color format and more photos and improved maps • Links to relevant websites • Chapters that begin with list of study goals and end with summary, overview and of people, places, terms to remember, and review questions • Outlines, section headings, subheadings, and bolded items to make it easy to follow structure of discussion • Phonetic pronunciations for unfamiliar names and terms • Breakouts with illustrative quotes from ancient, nonbiblical literature • Discussion questions on the contemporary relevance of the New Testament • Updated bibliographies • Conservative evangelical theological perspective that also notes other positions and literature.
