4.0 out of 5 stars
Straight forward, concise summaries,
By Eric (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bible (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)
What I liked most about the CliffsNotes version of the Bible over The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Bible, Third Edition and The Bible for Dummies is that it takes a no-frills approach. The other two are humorous and certainly entertaining, but also a bit distracting for me.
The one drawback I've noticed is that, in true CliffsNotes fashion, these are simply summaries without verse cross-referencing and not quite the step-by-step stories that are given in "Dummies" and "Idiot's". I'd say this book would be better suited for those who already know the Bible fairly well to be used for high-level commentary and "big picture" analysis. While this one is absolutely worth picking up, I'd also recommend getting either of the two others for a more user-friendly tool.

Super handy.,
This review is from: The Bible (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)
I'm a pastoral studies student and this book has been a jewel for all my related classes. If I have to read something in the Bible I read the section in the cliff notes book 1st then i grab the bible and read it.
It helps a lot to put what I'm reading in the Bible into perspective. The author has some excellent commentaries.

This review is from: The Bible (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)
I have to admit it that I had read very little of the Bible earlier in my life. But Cliff Notes you might ask?
Yes, Cliff Notes. If you want a good, concise introduction to the very long, complex and even intimidating book that is the Bible, this is a good one. After reading the Cliff Notes, I felt confident enough to make a reading plan and actually completed reading important (to me) books of the Old Testament and all the New Testament; it tool a while, but I managed. The background I got in the Cliff Notes helped a lot.
