Chronological and Background Charts of the New Testament: Second Edition (ZondervanCharts)

Great for individual or group study.

This book is a great teaching resource that is filled with various charts and graphs that help readers and students easily learn the New Testament. This work was most helpful when I was studying and researching the synoptic problem. It is field with about four or five different graphs that illustrate the various views of the synoptic problem, as well as the content of each of the synoptic Gospels.I am working on developing curriculum for a New Testament survey class, and I wouldn't dare develop such curriculum without utilizing this text as a reference work for it. For the most part, the author uses a very conservative dating system, but also demonstrates some of the more liberal dating methodologies that are prevalent in the scholarly world at present.I highly recommend this, and think that it should be a part of every New Testament student's library.Blessings in Christ!Michael HarbuckByron Georgia

Obviously, this is a reference book, not one you would sit down and read. At the same time, it has a number of interesting facts not readily available. I am teaching from the book of Acts, and this book has a chronological chart chapter by chapter. I like the background material for the books of the Bible. I will admit that the book tends toward the conservative side, but it gives accurate information about alternative views, sometimes side-by-side arguments. I highly recommend it.

It all depends on what you are looking for. I was disappointed that House takes a very traditional view on authorship and dating of NT books, asserting that the four gospels were written by the men for whom they are named, and that all the traditionally Pauline epistles were written by Paul. That being said, he does have charts near the end of the book that lay out arguments, in objective fashion, pro and con for these traditional authors. It's hard for me to imagine finding a personal use for most of his charts. Still, their creation does represent a significant achievement, and they most certainly would be useful to some readers.

Okey, I have to repeat what I said about the Old Testament version and this one. These are great study tools! I purchased these back in college. Loved them then and even now! Definitely a must for any library. Excellent format, charts, clear explainations, etc. If you don't get it for yourself, get it for your kids. They definitely need visual aids to get anything anyways! The others in this series are great too.

This book was all that I expected it to be. Glad I got it from Amazon!!

Great book and I could not put it down when it arrived. This book has brought so much joy to my studies. It is an awesome gem! I love it.

An excellent resource. I keep it close by me and refer to it often.

Did not look like this when I received mine. It was falling apart. Great resource though.
