The Visual Word: Illustrated Outlines of the New Testament Books

The Visual Word: Illustrated Outlines of the New Testament BooksEvery Christian wants to love the Bible. But let's face it: we sometimes get lost in all the names, places, and doctrines that we find in its pages. Who wrote this epistle? Which book is about justification? Joy? Jesus? Aren't they all about him? The New Testament contains complex ideas and multiple genres. Keeping it straight can be hard to do. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody who understands the big picture would put it together for us in one place?

Every Christian wants to love the Bible. But let's face it: we sometimes get lost in all the names, places, and doctrines that we find in its pages. Who wrote this epistle? Which book is about justification? Joy? Jesus? Aren't they all about him? The New Testament contains complex ideas and multiple genres. Keeping it straight can be hard to do. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody who understands the big picture would put it together for us in one place? Biblical scholar and seminary professor Patrick Schreiner draws from his years of experience as a teacher to offer a simple and memorable way of understanding Scripture. And he doesn't do it by throwing big words at you. The contours of the New Testament and its underlying structure are depicted in visual format along with Schreiner's clear explanations. In The Visual Word, the Bible comes alive because you can see it pictured before your eyes. By taking a graphic approach, you'll notice connections you've never seen before. Gain insights you've missed all these years. And discover an overall pattern that makes each separate piece fall perfectly into place. Don't settle for mere summaries of the New Testament. Let Schreiner's concise words and crisp images work together to help you encounter the Living Word in a fresh way.

"I have never seen a book that allows one to see the outline/summary of each New Testament book with such clarity and artistic beauty as I find in The Visual Word. It's accessible and attractive enough for kids and students to read, but thorough enough for seminarians and pastors to use as well. I absolutely love the visual format and the short summaries that supplement the various artistic icons. Whether you are exploring the Christian faith, are new to the Christian faith, or are leading others into deeper understanding of the New Testament, I would encourage you to grab this resource, grab a Bible, and journey along with Schreiner and Benedetto. I will be recommending it to many others." TONY MERIDA, pastor for Preaching, Imago Dei Church, Raleigh, NC; dean of Grimké Seminary
