Do you want to understand the Bible? Then buy [these books]! In your study of a Bible book, Jensen will guide you first through an overview of the entire book so you can see the big picture of the book itself and of the book’s place in the entire Bible…Then he takes you through several main topics within the book, so you can focus on the details. He also has very insightful ideas for application and study. I give it my highest recommendation.

"All too often," says Irving L. Jensen, "students of New Testament surveys read the instruction of others regarding the content of the Bible books but fail to spend time reading the Bible text for themselves. This book has been written to start readers onto paths of study in each New Testament book, to search and discover for themselves the great themes of each book."
The main purpose of this New Testament survey guide is to involve readers personally in a first hand survey of the Bible text and to lead readers into a time of personal reflection as they consider practical spiritual application of the Bible books studied. |
