I just finished one of Mark Driscoll’s mini-books on the New Testament. I clocked myself at 50 minutes and 13 seconds, a bit under the book’s one hour projection.
The book does just about all you can in a single hour of study. It’s definitely a great resource for those early in their faith journey looking for a really high level overview to get started with.
In classic Driscoll style he drives quickly and forcefully through some issues such as the canonization of Scripture. I can see some people thinking “what about this, or that”, while others feeling assured by Driscoll’s crisp convictions. But really, how much depth can you go into with an hour-long read?
I’m placing my bets on this becoming a Mark Driscoll commentary Bible in three years. It’ll probably be based on the ESV, bounded in camouflage leather, and ship with a knife.
