Introduction to the New Testament: A Small Group Bible Study - Paperback

by Clinton C. Cottrell D. Min (Author)

Designed for small groups, this introduction to the New Testament leads the reader through a 15 week survey. While it can be used by individuals, it is best used by a group of 2 or 3 to 15 or more. Using background material followed by daily readings and questions, Dr. Cottrell leads the reader through the basics of the New Testament scriptures. This book uses language that is readable to anyone from the newest Christian through experienced Christians who want a refresher. With day to day experience as a pastor, Dr. Cottrell tries to not only help the reader learn what the scripture says, but also helps the reader think about how to apply what they have read in their daily life.
