I found this book to be helpful when trying to understand the New Testament. I particularly found the definitions from Revelation helpful.
This book is very good if you have Bible studies, too.

Brief survey of the major parts of the New Testament. Great explanation of symbols in Revelation.

[Nancy Graham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great overview of the New Testament -- though, with a view from 30,000 feet, it may be an overwhelming amount of information in a quick dose. Still, helpful information.
