In an attention-challenged world, this book attempts to present to a new generation the core of biblical teaching so as to be both accessible and relevant for a new generation of spiritual seekers from all religions (or none), and all walks of life. Here twenty-five key passages from the Bible are presented, along with ten major scriptural themes. The author’s approach involves specific scriptural passages from Genesis through the New Testament, along with a brief reflection aimed to make these more understandable and helpful for modern readers. The themes include love of God and neighbor, guides to prayer, service to others, mercy and forgiveness, as well as spiritual renewal. †
