New Testament Illustrations

This series of commentaries on the New English Bible is designed for use in schools and training colleges and for the minister and the layman. It replaces the old Cambridge Bible for Schools. Each volume comments on one book or two or three short books of the Bible beginning with the New Testament. In each the text is given in full. Sections of text and commentary alternate so that the reader does not have to keep two books open or turn from one part of the book to the other or refer to a commentary in small type at the foot of the page. Great care is being taken to see that the commentary is suitable to the student and the layman: there is no Greek or Hebrew and no strings of biblical references but the commentary does convey the latest and best scholarship. The general editors all have experience of teaching or examining in school and working with adults. In addition to this volume of maps and plates New Testament Illustrations there is also a general introductory volume Understanding the New Testament.
