A Book You'll Actually Read On the New Testament
Description
Mark Driscoll, one of America’s most influential pastors, answers the nine most common questions about the New Testament — questions about authorship, different translations, trustworthiness of the Scriptures, and more — and gives an overview of the various kinds of New Testament literature. Two appendices include a comprehensive list of further resources and a checklist for reading through the entire New Testament.
On the New Testament is part of an ongoing series of books you will actually read. The average person can read these books (minus the appendixes) in roughly one hour. The hope is that the big truths packed into these little books will make them different from the many other books that you would never pick up or would pick up only to quickly put down forever because they are simply too wordy and don't get to the point.
