This book is an excellent overview of the New Testament. Especially well treated is the background leading up to 1st century Judea in culture, geography, and political standings. Done in easy to understand language.

Some terms need clarification and refinement, but that would make the book over 1000 pages...

In the comprehensive The New Testament: Its Background and Message, the late Thomas Lea presented a clear and concise introduction to the New Testament giving readers the key that unlocks the door to understanding these important texts. This influential work presents the background of the New Testament with broad strokes and with a focus on specific books including the Gospels, Acts, and Paul and his letters. Originally written in an easy-to-understand style and form, Lea?s text continues to unlock the message of the New Testament for both new students and seasoned scholars.
