About this book

Many have attempted to read through the whole New Testament only to be overwhelmed by the complexity and fascinating texts. This New Testament Survey is to give you a lift so you can have a bird's-eye view of the whole landscape before dashing in for a detailed reading and study. The New Testament consists of twenty-seven books. To help you see the big picture, this book maps out all the twenty-seven books in the order as they appear in the Bible and classify them into meaningful divisions.

Whenever possible, the writer of each book is identified along with the time and purpose so that you will know when and why each book was written. In addition, an outline for each book is given. This way, you will have a preview of the content of each book before you start reading the pages in detail. Therefore, this book is immensely helpful for serious as well as casual Bible readers.

Book of 1 Corinthians
Author: Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 1:1).
Date of writing: Approximately AD 55.
Reason for writing: Paul founded the church in AD 52 on his second missionary journey (Acts 18:1–18). After a few years, he heard that the people became prideful and there was much sexual immorality. Therefore, Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians and tried to restore the church to its foundation.
Key verses:
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profited me nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1–3)
