Book Overview

Understanding the Bible will provide you with a foundational knowledge of the entirety of Scripture with a focus on broadening your vision of Jesus Christ.

This book answers foundational questions:

Who wrote the Bible?What is its message?Why is it thought to be a "holy" book?How does one read and interpret it?

By delving into the geographical, religious, and historical concerns that shaped the world of biblical times, you'll see Jesus as never before: both as a man of his times and culture, and as the culmination of a divine providence that prepared the way for the ministry of the Messiah.

Written by renowned preacher, writer, and apologist John Stott, this new, expanded edition includes:

Questions at the beginning of each chapter to help you focus.New, up-to-date maps for the chapters on history and geography.An index to help you speedily access areas of interest.

Good foundation book for new Christians

This book is a really good way of grabbing hold of the message of the Bible as a whole in its historical context. Highly recommended for new Christians and for those seeking answers about what the Bible is really about.

excellent overview of how to study the Bible

This is a very good basic overview of the right (Biblical) attitude to the Bible, how and when the study it and understand it. It is especially good in helping the reader to see the principles of natural, original and general meaning, and has some useful geographical stuff as well.Definitely a worthwhile introduction to the topic, with challenges and incentives to read the Bible, while avoiding legalism.
