Summary

With its full-color illustrations and multimedia, interactive compact disc -- not to mention its rigorous scholarship, readable style, and educational soundness -- Encountering the New Testament: A Historical and Theological Survey sets a new standard in introductory undergraduate biblical studies. Although nearly every Christian college offers a course surveying the New Testament, professors too often discover that the books for these courses fail to communicate to their students.
