Overview
This book will help you understand the redemptive story of the New Testament through six major periods: Expectations, Messiah, Pentecost, Teachings and Yet-to-come, with the first letter of each heading making up the word EMPTY. The acronym EMPTY will enable you to grasp the storyline of the New Testament, and place key people, events, and the New Testament letters in their correct time period. The author takes you through each redemptive period, explaining how Jesus marks the fulfillment of God's promises of old, and how the exalted Jesus continues his mission through his disciples empowered by the Holy Spirit. The acronym for the entire Bible is CASKET EMPTY. It points to the empty tomb of Jesus as the beginning of God's new creation, the assurance that death has been defeated, and the guarantee of our resurrection yet to come. Through the acronym CASKET EMPTY you will have a framework for remembering the entire sweep of the Bible with the person and work of Christ at the center. This book is designed to be read along with the New Testament Casket Empty Timeline available at www.casketempty.com.

Reviews
Anyone interested in an overview of the New Testament that does justice both to its historical setting and to its message can do no better than to read Palmer's survey thoughtfully. Comprehensive in scope, it is clearly written and strikes just the right level of depth. Highly recommended. Dr. Moises Silva, Former Mary French Rockefeller Distinguished Professor of New Testament Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Readers often get lost in the details in reading the Scriptures. David Palmer's timeline and biblical theology help readers chart their way through the New Testament story and are a helpful resource for understanding the Scriptures. Dr. Thomas R. Schreiner, Associate DeanJames Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary To prevent enemies from sabotaging good ropes with ones that fray under the stress of battle, the British navy created a quick assurance of quality by weaving a single red thread in the middle of all official ropes. David Palmer's Casket Empty New Testament Study Guide does the same. He weaves major theological themes through various genres of Scripture, by many authors, over decades of time and context. I marvel at my students who marvel as God's Word finally makes sense and unifies around the person of Christ. Dr. Case Thorp, Senior Associate PastorFirst Presbyterian Church, Orlando, Florida David Palmer, a man who loves the Bible, has given us a highly accessible and well-organized overview of God's redemptive story in the New Testament, which helps the reader to grasp and fit together the historical events and unifying message of the Bible. I recommend this to anyone who wants to better understand Scripture, whether that be a Christian in the US, a seeker in Indonesia, or a pastor in Iran.
