Well written introduction to the Bible,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Collegeville Bible Handbook (Hardcover)
This well written introduction to the Bible is designed for those who are beginning to study the Bible. The book is a condensed version of the Collegeville Bible Commentary which was written by 32 respected Biblical scholars. Each book of the Bible is discussed in an introduction as well as more detailed commentary. The handbook also contains color illustrations, photos, timelines, and maps. Quotes are from the New American Bible. I recommend this book for those who are beginning to study the Bible. The Liturgical Press is also the publisher of a number of more comprehensive books ranging from studies of the entire Bible, the New and Old Testament, and individual books of the Bible; these volumes are recommended for those who want a more comprehensive resource.

a good, little basic book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Collegeville Bible Handbook (Hardcover)
This is a very basic biblical commentary. You will get a feel for the book you are reading and a brief , very brief in some cases, summary of the chapter and verses in each book. What you won't get in many cases is an analysis of the particular verses your may be reading. Of course in such a small package, it is too much to expect that kind of detail. If you require more detail, there are lots of larger more complete commentaries available. To have something with maps and pictures that is pocket book sized with a hard cover, this does a good basic job in a really small package. I bought mine from a reseller at a fabulous price and got way more than I actually paid for. Would still be a reasonably good buy at the full price.
