New Testament Survey is a comprehensive work in the field of New Testament studies, written to help readers become acquainted with the historical world and message of this part of the Bible. In this book, Merrill C. Tenney first explains the social, political, economic, and religious background of the New Testament period so that readers can better understand the circumstances in which the message of the Gospel emerged. This approach helps the New Testament text to be understood within its historical context. The author then examines each book of the New Testament individually, explaining its characteristics, message, and historical background. This work, which has been used for many years as an important reference in theological education, has also been expanded in later editions. The revised edition includes additional material on the Jewish background of the New Testament as well as discussions about the Gospels and the formation of the New Testament canon.
