A definitive guide to the New Testament of the Bible—providing both the broader historical and cultural context as well as a passage-level commentary for each book. Many students of the Bible launch into their studies without a prior systematic reading of the New Testament. This survey is unique in the way it assists a close and complete reading, without bogging down in extensive introductions and over-academic material. Instead, A Survey of the New Testament converses with each passage in the form of brief commentary, while enabling you to see how background material—such as intertestamental history, Judaism, and other historical matters—helps interpret the text. By tracing the flow of thought from passage to passage, you'll gain a sense of the natural progression of the narrative and logic in the New Testament. This fifth edition of Robert Gundry's classic, widely-used textbook includes updates and revisions throughout and a fresh, full-color design, including: More photos and updated/improved maps. Links to relevant websites for further study. Outlines, study goals, summaries, and review questions for each chapter. Phonetic pronunciations for unfamiliar names and terms. Breakouts with illustrative quotes from ancient, nonbiblical literature. Updated bibliographies. Review: Worth buying - This book gives really good historical and cultural insight to better understand the New Testament books. Good commentary included as well to explain the scripturea. Review: Quality Book! - This book is an outstanding book to have! It gives you so much detail of the New Testament without overwhelming you and confusing you. It helped me understand the New Testament in a new light, and since I needed it for a class I was taking, I thought it would be better to get a book version, it was worth it! It came in great condition, I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing and wanting to learn a little bit about the New Testament.

Wonderful New Testament Supplement - A Must for Any New Testament Student.
I purchased this book to support a divinity class on the New Testament. I found this book to be very helpful. The layout of the book reflects big print, is easy to read and fairly easy to follow. A cursory review of any book site will find the book well with mostly positive reviews from many who have used this book as a companion to or assigned reading material of New Testament seminary courses as well as those who have endeavored to gain additional insight into New Testament reading. Most will find this book easy to read and follow. Even those not familiar with the New Testament will find this book a valuable resource. The contents include five parts. There is an evolution to how the parts are presented, first explaining the political and cultural background that reflect the historical, religious and philosophical context and settings that influence the New Testament. One drawback to the book is that it provides terms but does NOT provide the meaning, only the pronunciation. However, that slight was not significant enough for me to rate it 4.

The Best survey out there.
Gundry is helpful, informative and succinct. He has a remarkable grasp of all the major issues as they affect the study of the Word of God. He appropriately engages the relevant topics as required and gives the student a solid introduction to the world of the NT. The many colourful illustrations are also of great benefit to the text.
