Review Summary: Surprise purchase

Details: Given the reputation of F.F.Bruce for scholarship in NT studies, I was surprised when this book arrived to find that it was more of a picture book than one of biblical content. While it is certainly more than just a picture book with captions, it did not have the academic content that I was anticipating. The material provided on the various places that Paul traveled and planted churches was of the highest quality...as one would expect from Bruce. However, it did not provide me with the depth of material for which I was searching.
