Mitchell Chase summarizes the New Testament in Good News for All the Earth, as he did in another book for the Old Testament.
The Old Testament points to Jesus. The New Testament shows us Him, the God-made-Flesh, and covers:
- Jesus' birth and the proclamation of great joy
- The beginning of His ministry, from His baptism to temptations
- The teachings of Jesus as He traveled in the region and gave the people "Kingdom Words and Wonders"
- His passion [his death on the cross]
- His resurrection
- The rise and spread of the early church (as captured in the book of Acts)
- Letters from the Apostles
- Apocalypse [Revelation] of the end times
Like his first book, this is a deliberate overview/simplification. The focus is not on the events or words of Jesus per se, but a structural overview of the New Testament with some observations along the way. It is a solid offering.
