A Popular Survey of the New Testament is designed to help ordinary people enrich their understanding of New Testament people and events. It addresses many questions that readers of the Bible may have, such as:

Who wrote the books of the New Testament and to whom were they writing? When were these books written and why?

• How can a warning about first-century Gnostics help Christians today?

• What can today's believers get out of a letter about a slave returning to his master?

• How can we understand difficult passages in the New Testament?

Written in an easy, informal style, this survey is accessible and enjoyable to anyone who wants to better understand the New Testament.
