Works by J. C. Robertson, Canon of Canterbury
- Sketches of Church History, from AD 33 to the Reformation
Description: This very brief overview of Christian history is a condensation of Robertson's multi-
volume series on the same subject, The History of the Christian Church from the
Apostolic Age to the Reformation. Though not possessing the same depth of the larger
work, Sketches is masterfully written and structured in its breadth of information, making
it perfectly accessible for interested laypersons and students looking to review. As a
scholar of Christian history, Robertson selects information carefully and strategically
as to maximize his readers' understanding without overwhelming them with copious
amounts of detail.

- Word Pictures in the New Testament
Description: A. T. Robertson was a renowned Greek New
Testament scholar. His work on the Greek language is still consulted
today. Word Pictures in the New Testament is his insightful
treatment of that book. In the Greek New Testament, there are a variety of meaningful
pictorial nuances implicit in the Greek constructions. These nuances are
often lost in translation. Word Pictures in the New Testament
explains
them. Robertson examines Greek constructions from many different
Testament passages. He provides background to many of the Greek words
and their connotations in the original Greek, thereby shedding new light
on the meaning of passages. Many readers have gained a new, richer
understanding of the New Testament by studying Word Pictures in the
New Testament. And although no technical knowledge is required to study
this work, familiarity with the Greek language makes this work much easier to
digest. Consequently, it is ideal for pastors, theologians, and students
of the New Testament.
