Exploring the New Testament is a foundational text designed to help the reader gain a deeper understanding of the Scriptures. It is written in an easy-to-read style accommodating laymen, ministers, and lower level college classes. "This book is sent forth with the prayer that it may help many to find a straight course in the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15). It has been the desire of the writers to make the picture of Christ in the pages of the New Testament more clear to the readers."
Ralph Earle served as professor emeritus of New Testament at Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri, where he first began teaching in 1945. He served on the Committee on Bible Translation, which is the governing body for the New International Version of the Bible. Earle earned degrees from Eastern Nazarene College, Boston University, and Gordon Divinity School. He also took post-doctoral courses at Harvard and Edinburgh Universities.
