Publisher's Synopsis
There is so much to learn about the Bible: backgrounds, survey, authorship, archaeology, interpretation, and more. For the average person that can be extremely intimidating. It is easy to get overwhelmed with facts and knowledge and to lose sight of why God gave us the Bible: so that we can have a relationship with Him. What most of us need is not a massive commentary or pile of resources but a simple orientation. We need a basic roadmap that presents the Bible in a way designed to open up revelation, understanding and most importantly, relationship. Introducing the Bible is that book. It brings under one single cover material that usually must be discovered through extensive study. Part reference, part overview, and part interpretive guide, Introducing the Bible will provide a foundation for a lifetime of profitable study.
