Essential Guide to the Bible

Many who would be willing to seek the truth in the Bible are intimidated by its size, the time it would take, the number of languages and cultures it includes, or questions about the historical credibility and contemporary importance of the Scriptures. The Essential Bible Guide has been designed with an awareness of the obstacles people face in understanding the Bible.

Those who have studied the reading comprehension process affirm that contextual knowledge is one of the key factors for a person to understand what they read. The Essential Bible Guide seeks to provide a wide variety of information for each of the 66 Books of the Bible.

In addition to context and the wide variety of information for each Book of the Bible, the Essential Bible Guide provides abundant and engaging visual resources that contribute to understanding Scripture. Photographs, maps, reconstructions, illustrations, and paintings complement the written explanations and, together, bring clarity to biblical texts.
