Making the Bible Your Book

Zusatztext

Making the Bible Your Book provides an informative guide to the people, places, events, and content of the books of Bible. It asks the fundamental questions as one approaches the study of scripture: who? what? where? when? and why? It also provides initial guidance on how to interpret the Bible. The author does not assume that the reader has a great deal of knowledge about the Bible, and therefore the book is an excellent starting resource for basic knowledge. It can assist the beginning Bible student as well as those who need to refresh their knowledge and understanding. It is an ideal resource for individuals, study groups, seminarians, and even pastors and priests who desire to address the problem of biblical illiteracy in their churches.
