Opis

THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR THE TEACHINGS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THE MAJOR PLAYERS AND BOOKS OF THE EARLIEST CENTURIES OF CHURCH HISTORY Contained in this volume are numbered and ordered lists of the teachings advanced in the twenty-seven canonical books of the New Testament. To aid in research, the commandments of Jesus and all other requirements have been assigned separate catalogs. Both are ordered in a systematic, subject by subject format, offering the student of the New Testament easy access to the basic principles of the Christian religion. Exhaustively covering the teachings of the New Testament, there is also a full treatment of all twenty-seven Parables of Jesus, including detailed descriptions and explanations. Additionally, for those who would strive to expand their knowledge of the world in which the New Testament and the Christian religion was born, concise biographies are provided of the major biblical characters and those of the earliest centuries of Church history. From John the Baptist to St. Augustine, and even Roman historians like Pliny the Younger, the significant contributors are described and set carefully into their respective context in the historical scene. This reference guide even provides a selected list of rejected or venerated books that failed to become part of the New Testament or remained in its shadow. Offering comprehensive treatment of the teachings of the New Testament and concise and selected treatment of the players and books of the earliest centuries of Church history, this reference work is ideal for students of Christianity and the New Testament. The comprehensive look at its teachings is invaluable for both novice and accomplished students; and the selected coverage of the players and books of the earliest centuries of Church history is perfect for the beginning student or the believer who seeks an accessible starting point for further research."
