The visuals, charts, and inset boxes with focus topics provide a rich learning environment that has worked admirably for our undergraduate students, and I note as well that the text can aid even seminary students as they lay the initial groundwork for advanced study. The authors' awareness of globalized Christianity, especially apparent in this fourth edition, along with electronic support materials, all render this updated edition a welcome development for students open to a holistic acquaintance with Christ's new covenant.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eJonathan M.
