Constantine R. Campbell and Jonathan T. Pennington provide an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the New Testament, helping readers understand it in its literary, canonical and theological dimensions rather than book by isolated book.

They show how each book contributes to the unified story of God's redeeming work in Christ, and how the New Testament completes the message of the Old. Designed for evangelical students and assuming no prior academic background, the volume is full-color throughout with maps, diagrams and sidebars, which makes it as usable for a church class as for a classroom.
