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.
