Outstanding Characters of the New Testament (Volume 1)

"Outstanding Characters of the New Testament (Vol 1) by J.A. McNutt invites readers into
a thoughtful study of thirteen men and women whose lives shaped the story of early Christianity. Written by respected gospel preacher and teacher J. A. McNutt, this workbook examines familiar biblical figures not as distant icons but as real people—people of faith, weakness, courage, and growth. 

Each lesson focuses on a key New Testament character, including Matthew, John Mark, Luke, Mary the mother of Jesus, Peter, Stephen, and the apostle Paul. Through carefully structured questions and Scripture-based discussion, students are encouraged to examine character, motive, decision, and consequence in light of God’s Word. Strengths are highlighted, failures are examined honestly, and practical lessons are drawn for Christian living today.

Designed for Bible classes, small group studies, and personal study, this workbook format promotes thoughtful engagement with the text and meaningful discussion. First published in 1963 and now presented in a revised edition, Outstanding Characters of the New Testament – Volume 1 reflects McNutt’s lifelong commitment to clear teaching, sound doctrine, and spiritual edification. This volume is the first in a two-part study and is ideal for those who desire a deeper appreciation of the people behind the pages of the New Testament—and
the timeless lessons their lives still teach.
