Wayne Norton

Nortons Nuggets from the New Testament is an exciting adventure through the New Testament in outline form. Dr. Wayne Norton displays a unique gift with alliteration and vocabulary to present unique Bible study outlines. This unique gift that the Holy Spirit has given to Dr. Norton, along with his background and training in New Testament Greek and studies, provides an excellent journey to open a greater picture of the Gospels, an insight into the Book of Acts, a journey with Pauls letters, a gem of truth in the General Epistles, and even some significant studies of the seven churches of Revelation, plus other prophetic themes. As nuggets of gold come from mining, so the Holy Spirit has led Dr. Norton on an adventurous mining expedition of Gods Word based upon history, archaeology, and Greek word studies to present these outlines in Nortons Nuggets from the New Testament.
