How This Book Can Help You Read, Enjoy, and Learn More from the Bible
THE BIBLE CAN BARELY BE READ IN ONE YEAR, LET ALONE IN one sitting. And its complexity and richness certainly can’t be comprehended in one reading. The Bible merits study, and study requires guidance. But while there are plenty of Bible guides and literally thousands of books of commentary available to anyone who wants them, the plain fact is that most of us don’t. While we may be interested in learning more about the Bible, few of us aim to become scholars or amateur theologians. We want a grasp of the central characters and we want guideposts to mark the essential points we need to remember and understand.
This quizbook is designed to help you read the Bible. Our hope is that it will deepen both your pleasure in and knowledge of the Bible. To help accomplish this, it is organized into the same sections as the Bible itself, so that you or your study group can follow it in sequence with the Bible. There are no trick questions in this book (although some are tricky!). Every question and every answer has been designed to help you increase your knowledge of the Bible. In addition, the answers are designed for discussion purposes, making the answers as integral to your study as the questions.
The Bible continues to be far and away the best-selling book in the wlS?
