From Unread to Misread

From Unread to Misread is an introduction to the books from Hebrews to Revelation in the New Testament. After a discussion of the New Testament world the reader is invited to look at the message milieu meaning and mission of each document. By the end of this book it is the authors desire for the reader to have met the one who is at the centre of these neglected writings. The first chapter is about the world of the New Testament. To read these neglected books requires an understanding of the history of the times. Then the succeeding chapters will make sense of the time and place of the writing of each document. A similar pattern is followed as documents are examined: (1) Message - What is the content of the document/s? (2) Milieu & Meaning - What are the time & place of writing the purpose & reason for writing? (3) Mission - What is the significance then and now in the witness of the church?
