Very useful - By: SCS, 07 Jun 2008
I bought this book originallly as I wanted understand a bit more about the Bible, I am relatively new to the Christian faith & while I do study the Bible on a regulary basis & attend group discussions, I find I am often missing out on the context that passages are set in. Both in terms of history & relevance to other parts of the Bible. This books sets out very clearly the different sections of the Bible & tells you in plain, & often humourous language, what was happening at this particular point in history & what it meant for people then & what it means for Christians (and others) now. It walks yout through the Bible & explains things in sequence & 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 reallly do need to study the Bible itself if you every reallly want to learn about God & study His word.
The Bible for Dummies - By: Rev. Gareth Bowen, 30 Jan 2005
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.
