SynopsisA Walk Through the New Testament, written by best selling author Margaret Nutting Ralph, is designed to be a companion for adult Catholics who want to read and better understand the New Testament. The author marshals her extensive knowledge of both scripture and adult education to gear this introduction to the interested, but, as yet, not well informed Catholic who wants to understand the original biblical author's intent as well as to hear scripture as a living word that can cut to the marrow of the bone. For each book of the New Testament Ralph provides:* The setting of the author and the audience* A discussion of issues important from both an interpretive and a pastoral point of view* Review questions for Bible study* Discussion questions for faith sharingUsing the contextualist approach to scripture taught by the Catholic Church, Ralph guides her readers on a journey that avoids a literalist, fundamentalist interpretation of scripture and, at the same time, encourages readers to apply the truths taught to their own lives.
