Written in a clear, non-technical style, New Testament Survey is an analytic and historical survey which sets forth the message of the New Testament against a fully integrated picture of the world of the first century. Tenny begins with a survey of the overall social, political, economic, and religious background of the New Testament books, placing each book in its own setting and clarifying its main lines of thought. The book concludes with a short but penetrating study of the canon and text of the New Testament.
