5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource for the serious Bible student, December 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Talk Thru the Bible (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful resource for any serious student of the Bible. Use it right along with your Bible to help you better understand the who, what, when, where of each book of the Bible and how it fits together as a whole. I find it very easy to follow and would highly recommend it for any Christian's library. Now I am even more excited than ever to dig deep into the treasures of God's word!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great survey book., October 2, 2001

If you are looking for an easy to understand survey book, then this is what you want. Talk Thru the Bible does a good job explaining the historical background, date, theological contributions, and authorship of each book by highlighting the big ideas presented. It is written from a conservative evangelical perspective in a conversational mood and is devoid of heavy theological language.

Besides what you'd expect to find in a survey book, Talk Thru the Bible also offers explanations of Hebrew poetry which you can understand, nifty charts, and outlines detailed enough that you could develop sermons from them. All the articles are short and easy to digest--which is perfect for the micro wave attention spans (short) we all seem to have these days. This would be my choice of a textbook if I were to teach Old or New Testament survey.

I teach Bible study and I find Talk Thru the Bible an excellent study tool for self-study and preparing lessons. It gives an outline and overview of each book of the Bible and is easy to read and understand. It is a book I will keep in my library and refer to often.
