The Heart of the New Testament

This is one of my favorite books of all time about New Testament history in the time of Jesus. It is beautifully written with word art in its descriptions of the land at that time, so well done that you can almost smell the fruit of the trees. It offers great insight into the times of Jesus and His ministry. It also gives an excellent history leading up to the New Testament that many other sources leave out. It is simply written and easy to understand. You will feel you are walking side by side with the men and women of the Bible. I helps to understand many of the truths spoken by Jesus through the understanding of the world He lived in. I highly recommend this book.

I am the Academic Dean of a Bible Institute (Liberty Center Bible Institute, Elizabeth, N.J.). Our utilization of this text for one of our core study classes has always been a great introduction course for new students. It is written in a user friendly fashion and it's treatment of historical as well as biblical information is easy to comprehend. Whether used as part of a collegiate program or in an adult Sunday school setting, the text will help in the process of biblical understanding and aid individuals in their own personal growth.
