N. T. Wright has undertaken a tremendous task: to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament; and to include in them his own translation of the entire text. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion; with background information; useful explanations and suggestions; and thoughts as to how the text can be relevant to our lives today. A glossary is included at the back of the book. The series is suitable for group study; personal study; or daily devotions.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The Hardship Of Slaves And The Love And Hatred Of Families.By angela poleongreat material. A perfect way to learn about slavery with out craming all history text books. Had been searching for more than 30 years for this book after reading a friends own which got lost unfortunately. A master keepsake. Would recommend it to all those who are interested in their roots and culture.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great for reading and for school.By Christopher Q.When taking my college class (Rise and fall of the British Empire); it did not talk enough about Slavery; only a few pages about it. This book gives a clear account of slavery during those times; from an overall view to the day to day lives of the slaves and their owners. It is a must read for anyone that does not know much about this issue.
