Favorite New Testament book?

[jsimms615]

What is your favorite New Testament book and why?

I think mine is Colossians. I like how Paul emphasizes that Christ is preeminent and is so practical also.

 

[Ysabel]

Philemon

 

[Leah]

Revelation.

The reason is because the seven churches being discussed in it and how Jesus either praised, encouraged, rebuked or warned each one DEFINATELY applies to today's churches.

 

[GratiaCorpusChristi]

I like Matthew, Luke-Acts, John, Romans, Colossians, Hebrews, and Revelation.

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

Favorite Gospel is John. Favorite Letter would be either Hebrews or Romans.

 

[Margim]

Probably Luke, simply because I've spent so much time in it. The better you get to know someone/something, the more enjoyable time with it becomes. That said, any preference for one over another has limited significance. It'll probably be another book in another year.

 

[DeaconDean]

Romans, just for the simple fact that it is rules for practical Christian living.

God Bless

Till all are one.

 

[Gwenyfur]

Ephesians...for many reasons

 

[icedtea]

Hard to pick only one, and it changes sometimes but right now I say James.

 

[Ave Maria]

I like 1st and 2nd Corinthians the best. I guess its because I like the way immorality is addressed so much in it.

 

[intricatic]

Tossup - out of the Gospels, Matthew and John, out of the rest, Hebrews, Galatians, and Romans. Ephesians, James, and Philippians deserve a special mention. So do all the rest. So um. The Bible. I didn't see an option for "The Bible" though.

Why? Matthew; I love the rich depth of the Hebrew culture that comes through the text. John; I dunno, it's just always been one of my favorite books to read in the Bible.

 

[Celticflower]

I have always loved the gospel of John

 

[Warrior Poet]

Acts

Warrior Poet

 

[sunlover1]

Ephesians...for many reasons

Ditto.

 

[Morghaine]

I love the Gospel of John - but I love reading Acts as well. Hard to pick just one though!

 

[Cygnus]

Matthew

 

[Edial]

I think mine is Colossians. I like how Paul emphasizes that Christ is preeminent and is so practical also.

For exegetical study - Revelation, by a wide margin.
It has much information in it that clarify many of the more subtle points in the rest of the Bible.

For just reading - gospels.

Thanks,

I voted for Luke, because it is my favorite portrait of Jesus: human, compassionate, concerned for the poor.

BUT, I have a great love for Romans as a source of doctrine, Ephesians for its emphasis on grace, and Philippians for its warm tone.

AND frankly, I love the whole NT literature.

Luke
Many people say that the last chapeters of Luke (the process, cross and risen) were written directly by Mary

 

[Rowan]

Matthew. I love the Sermon on the Mount.

That's interesting
