[John · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very fine concise introduction to the NT written by a scholar from my Alma Mater. It strikes me as being written from a moderate stance, and by focusing more of the finished product of the cannoncial NT and not dwelling on a lot of contentious textual critical issues-- it can be a source of good nuggets and study for people across the spectrum of theological views. It currently is available for 0.99$ on christianbook.com; that is a steal for someone who is trying to build up their library.
