This is a straightforward, plain speaking study guide that goes chapter by chapter, book by book, covering the entire New Testament. As I read the entire New Testament these past few months, I kept this book open to the corresponding verses the entire time. What I found very useful was the preface to each book that included quick overviews under the headings of: “Author of Letter”, “Written To”, “Date and Place of Writing”, “Theme”, “Purpose of Writing”, and sometimes “Notes”. Chuck Smith’s Study Guide is particularly useful if you are working your way through the beautiful, but more antiquated, King James Translation as he helps explain the language and vocabulary used during a now bygone era.
