3.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview, but not from Renowned Scholar, December 1, 1998

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bible Guide (Collins Gem) (Paperback)

This is a pocket-sized guide that provides a thematic overview of all the books of the bible. It's handy for reference, but be WARNED: The author, Raymond Brown, is NOT the Famous Catholic Scholar Raymond "Edward" Brown, even though Amazon lists it as so. This is not his usual publisher, and the book contains none of Brown's insightful, critical analysis on topics such as authorship and manuscript dating.(Plus, the Scholar always uses his middle name -Edward - in his writings.)

For those of you looking for an in-depth guide to the New Testament, I HIGHLY recommend Raymond Edward Brown's "Introduction to the New Testament".
