  A non-illustrated reissue of The Message of the Bible , this book was written to show how the Bible is relevant in our own times. How can the Bible's teaching, written in the ancient world, be validly interpreted so that it teaches us God's principles for living in the varied societies of our own world? The aim is to get the reader started by giving an overview with plenty of examples. The overview is given through the introductions to each Bible book. These explain what each book says and show its relevance. The outlines serve the same purposes. The examples are the key passages, about 200 of which have been selected from the whole Bible. These show how to understand and apply the Bible's message today. Summaries of the central Bible teachings with reference to aid personal study make up a separate section and take readers to the heart of Bible teaching.
