THE New Testament is comparatively short. Unlike the Old Testament
which spans a thousand years and more, it is the creation of only three
generations of a small and scattered community. Short though it is, it can
be intimidating for the ordinary reader. He turns the pages over: twenty-
seven books--gospels, letters, revelation ; some passages crystal-clear,
some strange and remote and obscure even when he has read them two or
three times. One incident is unforgettable--the plain and moving report
of the death of a young man one Friday afternoon outside the walls of the
capital city of an occupied country on the eastern borders of the Roman
Empire. Four times that story is told, the climax of each of the first four
books. That death in the afternoon is the obvious clue to the whole
collection of writings.
I was once that ordinary reader, and New World has grown out of the
plain guide I made for myself. I wish someone had made it for me and
put it into my hands when I first picked up the New Testament to read it
for myself. It was that death in the afternoon that started me reading.
I wanted to know why, for these last two thousand years, it was a death
men could not forget.
