THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH: REVISED & EXPANDED
Frank Viola is currently writing a chronological, socio-historical look at the New Testament story.
The book is under contract and due to be published between late 2024 or 2026.
It’s a complete rewrite and expansion of his 2005 book called The Untold Story of the New Testament Church.
The old version has many errors in it. So we encourage you not to buy it but wait for the new version to come out.
The new version is being reviewed by many New Testament scholars to confirm its accuracy.
Here is a description of the book.
—
The New Testament is often hard to understand. A major reason is because it is not arranged in chronological order.
Paul’s letters, for example, are arranged by size rather than chronologically.
This makes the New Testament a bit like a Chinese puzzle.
For this reason, one famous Bible scholar said that reading the New Testament letters is like hearing one end of a phone conversation. The book you hold in your hands reconstructs the other end so that you can understand virtually every word.
Frank’s upcoming book is a unique Bible handbook that weaves Acts and the Epistles together chronologically . . . creating one fluid story.
The book uses narrative exegesis to tell the story behind each of the letters in the New Testament, throwing light on their message.
This epic volume gives readers a first-hand account of the New Testament drama that is riveting and enlightening.
It includes dates, maps and background information about the people, the cities, and the events of the first-century church using a “you-are-there” approach.
Get up-close and personal with apostles Paul, Peter, James and John and learn about their personal struggles.
Understand the circumstances behind each inspired letter they penned. Why they penned them, where they were when they authored them, and what were the situations that provoked each letter.
Watch the chaotic swirl of first-century people and events fall into place right before your very eyes.
Discover what Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” really was. Learn what happened to all the apostles after the book of Acts was finished. Be ushered into the living, breathing atmosphere of the first century and uncover the hidden riches found in God’s Word.
