I love this book!! I finished it but will definitely keep it close by for reference during my New Testament reading. Peter Kreeft is an excellent author and has a great way of presenting information. I will certainly be reading more of his books soon!

My rating is very unfair for this book. It's very well done and it is a very good orientation to the New Testament. I just did not get much out of it that was new to me.
