What different kinds of books are in the New Testament? When, how, and why were they written?

This is a very clear and well researched study into the history of the New Testament. The presentations are appropriately structured and clearly presented. It also whets the appetite for more.

Since it was first published more than 25 years ago, Robert Fitzgerald's prizewinning translation of Homer's battle epic has become a classic in its own right: a standard against which all other versions of The Iliad are compared. Fitzgerald's work is accessible, ironic, faithful, written in a swift vernacular blank verse that "makes Homer live as never before" ( Library Journal).

wonderfully narrated

The story is complex and tells of the exploits of a number of characters. It would be advisable to have a printed edition near at hand or a commentary so that you can at least grasp the names of these diverse characters. This is a very expressive translation which is wonderfully narrated.
