The Anglican church my daughter attends in the south of England is using 'The New Testament You Never Knew' material in their Bible group.

This material looks very similar to 'The New Testament in Its World' material.

Both were published in 2019. There are nine chapters in '...Its World' and eight chapters in '...You Never Knew'. 

Are these two products just with different packaging of similar material for different readers?

Our Anglican Bible study group in Yorkshire may use one of them? 

Has anyone used either or commented on the differences or similarities?

    bumping in hopes of getting an answer

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    The NT and Its World is the more academic version.  It has a textbook, study guide, workbook and videos.  
    The NT You Never Knew is more suited for Sunday school use.  The videos are supposed to be the “Primary Text” since you need to watch them in order to make use of the study guide.

    Virtually identical but the latter is the simple abridged version of the longer work.

    You can google both for more comparisons.
