The importance of The Holy Bible, whether as a master work of literature or religious canon, can hardly be overestimated. This comprehensive study guide provides a unique approach to reading The Holy Bible and helps readers dive deep into the New Testament to analyze the teachings of Jesus through poetry and parable. The guide also leads readers through the Old Testament, the foundation for both Judaism and Christianity and the moral and political beacon for many nations of the Western world.

Cliff notes on Bible

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

I expected this book would summarize and compile the information similar to the way it does in the other books; such as the English/Literature material that I have purchased at other bookstores. Very disappointed!!!

I found this book to be a pretty major disappointment

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2015

Verified Purchase

I found this book to be a pretty major disappointment. I've had cliffs note books before and they usually do a great job of compressing a book into a smaller one so that you get all the right details without the bells and whistles. Well this is almost the exact opposite. Rather than focusing on the actual contents in the Bible, they spend about 75 percent of the time telling you who scholars think wrote what books. I don't read the Bible because I want to know how accurate it is that Moses wrote the first five books.

I've read the Bible before but my memory is terrible and nothing sticks. I was hoping this book would help me remember some key points and people but they spend so much time on these details we don't need that there isn't much room left for anything else. Major stories about creation, Eden, Abraham, Noah... they were all throw into one paragraph just so the author would have more room to tell us who wrote what.

I feel bad for the poor person who has never read the Bible before but has chosen to read this book. They will take away almost nothing except author accuracy.

I recommend either the Bible for Dummies or a Complete Idiot's Guide to the Bible instead. They aren't as compact but they will give you all the details you need and are much easier to read.

Great Introduction

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

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.

Good guide for those of us who are listening to the Bible on cd's or reading

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

I bought both this and The Bible for Dummies for use while listening to the Bible on cd's, and I was happy with both. The only reason I give this 4 stars rather than 5 is that although I like this one and recommend it, it was the Bible for Dummies that I enjoyed more and kept using.

An insightful overview of the Bible.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a terrific overview of the entire Bible, written by a professor who understands the reader's need to know what we know about the Bible, such as who wrote what and when, and what we do not know. I found this overview fascinating. This publication was very well done.

Perfect way to understand the story, teachings, and context

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

Well written, unbiased. I'm a non-christian and came away with enough of an understanding that I could hold my own in conversations with lifelong Christians, and even teach them a thing or two! Very helpful to understand what was going on in the lives of those who wrote and curated The Bible, as well as why certain items were included/omitted. Highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of your familiarity with the subject matter.

Good guide

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

Just glancing thru the pages of this booklet, it presents a concise review of the books of the bible and their meaning. I have not finished reading this booklet but so far I can understand parts of the Bible that were rather cloudy before. I hope by the time I finish I'll have a better understanding of the Books of the Old and New Testament.

Good overview, meets my needs.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

The book seems a bit dated, but it is easy to read and seems to be comprehensive. So far--and I'm not too far into it--it seems to be worth the price. Thanks to the editors.
