The beginning sections on historical and cultural context paint a winding narrative to introduce you to the survey. These first sections are the best and I found I was skim reading the survey proper, which was lighter in content. Each book of the NT had a very informative section that added colour and context to the content of each book.
Gundry's NT survey is probably the first proper theology textbook I owned and read. A competent and workmanlike (if dated) overview of the New Testament, which partly explains its popularity and translation into many languages.
