A Survey of the New Testament: 5th Edition

I purchased this textbook for a college class that made an in-depth review of the New Testament. I found this text to be one of the most comprehensive and accurate accountings of the history of the Bible and the people of our Lord's time. I highly recommend this textbook, it makes a great addition to your resource library.

There are other text books I would have rather had for this semester, but this book isn't bad at all. Easy reading, big print, and good information. What I like the best is I can get on Zondervan's web site and find flash cards and quizzes for each chapter. That is a big help since my school is pulling tests from the online resources available instructors.

Although Gundry does well in this introductory book to give the reader pronunciation guides for names of persons, his syntax is incredibly poor. Because his sentence structure is lacking, his intended meaning is confusing and requires at times a multiple read in order to make sense of his sentence.

while this is an excellent text book for more advanced students. It is not one that I would choose for teaching the New Testement to students that are at the level of learning of the class I am taking. the contents are confusing and we actually had to buy a workbook (which the instructor wrote) to help us get through the text book. This was costly and I'm sure there are other textbooks out there that are easier to understand.

The condition of the book is the biggest dissapointment in that it was classified as in new condition and the cover is actually coming apart from wear. I will not be ordering books from that vendor again because I feel that I can't trust their classifications.

My husband needed the 4th edition and we ordered this book under the description that it was the 4th edition. Recently the picture has been removed and the titled adjusted. This book is in fact the 2nd edition and now my husband will need to order the correct book and wait longer to finish school work because of this. We waited almost two weeks just to see it was the wrong book.

Since the hardcover book as so many side boxes of information on each page, it makes it hard to read at times. The best part of the book is being able to search. If I had to buy again, I would still buy the kindle version over the hardback.
