Great find, February 29, 2008
This review is from: Exploring the New Testament, Volume 2: A Guide to the Letters & Revelation (Exploring the Bible) (Hardcover)
I was glad to find a book that gave so much information in a way the average person could grasp it. It is easy reading and many mini tests to check your retainability on the lessons covered, allowing you to build your knowledge from one lesson to another.

This review is from: Exploring the New Testament, Volume 2: A Guide to the Letters & Revelation (Exploring the Bible) (Hardcover)
Exploring indeed! There's a brief description and commentary for every part of scripture it is covering. Very useful for personal biblestudy into deep, but also a great resource for preparing messages...
