  The Bible Guide is comprehensive in its scope and yet easy to read and enjoyable to use. Here in one volume is a detailed and illuminating guide to every book of the Bible. Unlike traditional commentaries, The Bible Guide is self-contained; readers do not have to cross-refer to Bible texts. The fact that it is written by one author gives the guide a continuity of approach not found in multi-contributor books. The Bible Guide explores, explains and brings to life the history, stories, culture and message of the world's most influential book.

  This guide is aimed at anyone who's ever wanted to get to grips with the content, meaning and relevance of the books of the Bible. For each book there is a summary of what, in essence, the book is all about and how it fits into the overall themes. The main events and characters are set out, along with the well-known stories. Then the book is unpacked with a commentary (narrative books); and (for non-narrative books) the main significance and cultural backdrop are explored. Colour photographs and charts help get across the key points without over-complicating the issues.
