Product Description
Watch the New Testament come alive! Understand God's Word like never before! The New Testament is often hard to understand. A major reason is because it is not arranged in chronological order. Paul's letters, for example, are arranged by size rather than chronologically. This makes the New Testament a bit like a Chinese puzzle! For this reason, one famous Bible scholar said that reading the New Testament letters is like hearing one end of a phone conversation. The book you hold in your hands reconstructs the other end so that you can understand virtually every word! "The Untold Story of the New Testament Church" is a unique Bible handbook that weaves Acts and the Epistles together chronologically . . . creating one fluid story! This epic volume gives readers a first-hand account of the New Testament drama that is riveting and enlightening. It includes dates, maps, and background information about the people, the cities, and the events of the first-century church using a "you-are-there" approach. Get up-close and personal with apostles Paul, Peter, James and John and learn of their personal struggles. Understand the circumstances behind each inspired letter they penned. Watch the chaotic swirl of first-century people and events fall into place before your very eyes. Discover what Paul's "thorn in the flesh" really was. Learn what happened to all the apostles after the book of Acts was finished. Be ushered into the living, breathing atmosphere of the first century and uncover the hidden riches found in God's Word!

This truly brings the New Testament alive November 8, 2008

This is an amazing read, I couldn't put it down. I now feel that I actually KNOW Paul, Peter, and all of the TRUE apostles in a personal way. To then read Pagan Christianity as a follow on has been enlightening to say the least. I thought I understood more than I did but am now delighted to feel so much more properly informed, with better understanding about the letters written, when and why. I fully reccomend it.

Brilliant book-Frank does it again! After reading the other reviews there isn't much left to say apart from the fact that after reading this you will find that you understand and empathise with all the people in the New Testament so much more-they literally spring to life as you read through.You will understand WHY they did and said the things that don't seem to make much sense to us in the 21st.Century.Can't wait to meet them!(well most of them anyway)
Thanks for taking the time and trouble to write it.

This book presents some information that is more than valuable for His true church. I really recommend reading this book and the others by Frank Viola. Hope it doesn't hurt your denominational feelings but, instead draws you to Christ.

I had bought the other book - Pagan Christianity - from the author and I thought it was the best until I picked up this book. Truly an awesome book. If you had been confused regarding the epistles regarding the context, background, etc -- this book is for you. It tells a story (story from Acts) and takes you through the entire New Testament in order (except the Gospels because that is totally different work). After reading this book, you will look at the epistles in a totally different way.
The thing I liked about this book is that it included not only history and background to properly understand the context for the epistles on why, how and when they were written but also the fact that this book acted like a little workbook -- in a sense that author would give you details regarding a particular place, writer, context and would actually tell you to go read the epistle, which I found very very helpful. Five stars to this book, buy it and read it - you can't go wrong. You will see what I mean...
