Jensen's Survey of the New Testament
Overview
"All too often," says Irving L. Jensen, "students of New Testament surveys read the instruction of others regarding the content of the Bible books but fail to spend time reading the Bible text for themselves. This book has been written to start readers onto paths of study in each New Testament book, to search and discover for themselves the great themes of each book."
The main purpose of this New Testament survey guide is to involve readers personally in a first hand survey of the Bible text and to lead readers into a time of personal reflection as they consider practical spiritual application of the Bible books studied.

Top Highlights
“Revelation is God’s communication of truth to man, without which man cannot know God. The word revelation (apocalypsis) means ‘uncovering,’ or ‘drawing away of a veil.’” (Page 17)
“It is the Spirit’s commentary on the Pentateuch, especially the book of Leviticus.” (Page 409)
“There is strong reason to believe that Matthew was the first of the four gospels to be written.” (Page 115)
“Picture the whole (survey); then analyze the parts (analysis).” (Page 85)
“Hebrews shows us that just as God led the Israelites from Egypt through the barren wilderness, protecting them from danger, supplying all their needs, teaching them, training them, and eventually bringing them into the rich land of Canaan, so Christ is at this present time helping His children, by intercession, inspiration, instruction, and indwelling, to enter into the spiritual rest land of abundant living, a taste of the heavenly glories to come.” (Page 410)
Do you want to understand the Bible? Then buy this book! ! In your study of a Bible book, Jensen will guide you first through an overview of the entire book so you can see the big picture of the book itself and of the book’s place in the entire Bible. . . . Then he takes you through several main topics within the book, so you can focus on the details. He also has very insightful ideas for application and study. I give it my highest recommendation.
