About
The Bible is full of amazing stories, and everyone knows the most famous ones. But for new believers and Bible students who want to put the stories into context, see how they fit together, and understand what they are really saying, it's difficult with a traditional Bible. The full color art in Idiot's Guide: The Bible brings the each book of the Bible to life. In it, readers get:
- A consistent summary of the vital statistics for each book of the Bible, in order, including the Old Testament, Apocrypha, and New Testament.
- A list of characters and their role in each story.
- Engaging and easy-to-read summaries of the most enduring and important Bible stories.
- The most important Bible quotes and passages, called out and explained in sidebars, serving as starting points for further exploration.
- Full-color illustrations of Bible stories and characters, plus helpful maps and timelines to help put information into context. Benjamin Phillips, PhD, is Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at the Havard School for Theological Studies, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary's Houston Campus. He is also the Director of Southwestern's Darrington Extension, which offers a Bachelors of Science in Biblical Studies to offenders of all faiths (and none) in the Texas Prison System. He has more than 18 years of experience as a pastor and interim pastor, and has helped to introduce people in Africa, Asia, and North and South America to the Bible through his work with World Hope Ministries International.
