From my seminary days comes another resource regarding this time the New Testament. It contains so many helpful charts and information that hopefully can be passed on someday to someone in the ministry that would benefit from such a document. In this book it covers issues such as the canon, gospel studies, textual criticism, biblical theology, ancient history, and numerous others. For example, several topics I thought very helpful for me back in the day were the Old Testament prophecies concerning Christ and Christianity and the listing of the Parables of Jesus with the main lesson described for each one. 147 total pages in all are loaded with information in readable form.
