Title: Great historical background
Product review: I never thought I'd review Cliff Notes! However, I really like this one.This book gives great historical and cultural information, which has really helped my understanding of the New Testament. I realized, when reading this, that there is a lot more to understanding the New Testament than I had gotten from just reading the Bible. Without the historical background, some things just didn't make so much sense. And the entire story was sort of flat for me before.I really appreciated the comparative look at the books of the New Testament, and the perspective given on the authors and the intended audience.Of course this in no way replaces the Bible. But it gave me an understanding I NEVER could have gotten by studying the Bible alone!
