This stimulating compilation explains the five kinds of literature in the New Testament, how and why the books are arranged as they are, who the writers and the first recipients were, and how the books came to be written in the first place. This book is a different approach as an introduction to the varied writings, people, circumstances, and events in the New Testament. The book also explains the different kinds of editions of the Bible. This book is not a commentary on any passage in the Bible. It is not a polemic; it is not sectarian. It is a reference book rather than a devotional book. It explains the format of the New Testament, not the meaning.
