The New Testament is sometimes called the New Covenant, signifying a new relationship between humanity and God. From the viewpoint of salvation history, the New Testament is the completion and the culmination of the Old Testament. In terms of length, it is only a small portion of the entire Bible, and yet it is that portion which brings it all together. Richard Rohr and Joseph Martos look at the many ways salvation themes are proclaimed by the various authors and literary styles of the New Testament.

What does the Bible say about itself? Before this question can be addressed, Tim Meadowcroft argues, we have to address the wider notion that God speaks. Accordingly, Meadowcroft offers fresh, wide-ranging expositions of key passages in both Testaments on the character and power of God's word.

I wrote this book to be used as an aid. I chose the themes and scriptures. If you think of other scriptures that were left out, add them. After publishing this book, I know I'll find additional scriptures I left out and wish I had included them. Some of the same verses were used under different themes. God's Word is complex, simple, and can take you down paths that go deep into your spirit. One minister I know refers to studying specific scriptures as "entering the deep end of the pool." My book is not an attempt to replace the necessity to read and study the scriptures directly from the Bible. This book is just a starting point for you to build your own scriptural reference related to specific themes. At first, I planned to write this book only for me. I've always had a hard time memorizing lots of scriptures and remembering where to find a scripture relevant to a certain issue. After writing this book, I changed my mind and decided to share this work with others. After listing a theme, I listed the Books, Chapters, and Verses followed by the actual scriptures. I hope you find this book helpful as you study the Word of God.
