Great Christian Scholars
Did you ever think it would be fascinating to follow the Apostle Paul on his misssionary journeys? Have you ever wondered how all the books in the New Testament came to be written? If so, then our paper on the New Testament is for you. It gives you the background on all the New Testament books and shows you how the gospel spread from Jerusalem to the "uttermost part of the world" (Acts 1:8). |
This condensation was prepared by Carol Morgan with footnotes supplied by Ken Morgan. The main text gives a narrative summary of Paul's journeys together with the "where, when, and why" each book of the New Testament was written. This material is primarily taken directly from the the three-volume Introduction to the New Testament by Theodor Zahn (1909 English edition). The footnotes deal with various technical issues and points where modern conservative scholars might differ from Zahn. |
