Short Book list for New Testament study

1. The most readable introduction is Etienne Charpentier's:

"How to Read the New Testament"

2. This "Very Short Introduction" is very good, but very brief:

"The New Testamant: A Very Short Introduction" by Luke Timothy Johnson

3. For a good laugh, but not for the squeamish:

"The Brick Bible: The New Testament" by Brendon Powell Smith

4. This is the "Bradshaw's Guide" to the NT. Indispensable for serious study:
