Very useful June 7, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book originally as I wanted understand a bit more about the Bible, I am relatively new to the Christian faith and while I do study the Bible on a regulary basis and attend group discussions, I find I am often missing out on the context that passages are set in. Both in terms of history and relevance to other parts of the Bible. This books sets out very clearly the different sections of the Bible and tells you in plain, and often humourous language, what was happening at this particular point in history and what it meant for people then and what it means for Christians (and others) now. It walks yout through the Bible and explains things in sequence and builds up into a comprehensive knowledge base. I have found it very useful for helping me to deepen my understanding of relevant parts of the Bible, though I would stress that it is not enough to read this on its own, you really do need to study the Bible itself if you every really want to learn about God and study His word.

Very helpful book for people wanting to start to look deeper into the Bible. This will never replace a set of good commentaries but it was never ment to. I have this book on my "often used" shelf above my desk. Fr. Gareth Bowen.
