New World: The Heart of the New Testament in Plain English

THE New Testament is comparatively short. Unlike the Old Testament which spans a thousand years and more, it is the creation of only three generations of a small and scattered community. Short though it is, it can be intimidating for the ordinary reader. He turns the pages over: twenty- seven books--gospels, letters, revelation ; some passages crystal-clear, some strange and remote and obscure even when he has read them two or three times. One incident is unforgettable--the plain and moving report of the death of a young man one Friday afternoon outside the walls of the capital city of an occupied country on the eastern borders of the Roman Empire. Four times that story is told, the climax of each of the first four books. That death in the afternoon is the obvious clue to the whole collection of writings. I was once that ordinary reader, and New World has grown out of the plain guide I made for myself. I wish someone had made it for me and put it into my hands when I first picked up the New Testament to read it for myself. It was that death in the afternoon that started me reading. I wanted to know why, for these last two thousand years, it was a death men could not forget.
