Table of Contents for Volume 2

I still have quite a lot to do to finish The Words of the Covenant, Volume 2: New Testament Continuation, but it’s getting there. When complete I estimate the book will be close to 600 large pages long. I have increased the font size for easier reading. I’m confident enough to post this not-quite-finalized Table of Contents to give potential readers an idea of what to expect:
