What makes the New Testament new? What does it tell us that the Old Testament does not? Why is it so controversial? Why is the New Testament still able to speak so forcefully after almost 2000 years of circulation? Where do we begin so that we can grasp its purpose and place in the world and in our own lives?

This booklet was written by David Egner to help you understand the New Testament, its purpose, its people, its times, and its places. But most important, the purpose of this booklet is to give you a better understanding of God and yourself through the greatest book ever written–the Bible.
