Noted teacher and gospel scholar, David J. Ridges, makes the New Testament come alive in The New Testament Made Easier. The Savior's mortal ministry and atoning sacrifice are felt as well as studied. In-the-verse notes provide a unique teaching tool which allows you to read the complete Bible text of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John while being taught the meaning of difficult Bible words and phrases, symbolism, doctrine, culture and setting. Notes between the verses clarify and alert you to major concepts and messages.

Gain instant, basic understanding as you read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John with the help of in-the-verse notes.

Example: Matt. 5:29 And if thy right eye (symbolic of specific temptation, bad environment, friends, bad habit, specific sin, etc.) offend thee (puts you in spiritual danger), pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (JST Matthew 5:34. And now this I speak, a parable concerning your sins; wherefore, cast them from you, that ye may not be hewn down and cast into the fire.)
