Evolution of the Word: The New Testament in the Order the Books Were Written by Marcus J. Borg

4.0

I've read the New Testament before, but having it presented this way, in chronological order, as well as having it presented with historic context and explanation, was very useful and enjoyable. The Books are presented in a way where the text of the Book is not diminished, or altered, just re-examined in flow and context to show the changing of meanings and interpretations as the early Christian's and Jews evolved.

Through this evolution, the meaning and formation of the Books also evolved and became the base for the teachings included in the Bible as a whole. Both from a scholarly and from a religious viewpoint this was a great experience.
