Over 300,000 people have studied Books of the Bible. Now, the study has been updated, based on the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Using a workbook style, Books of the Bible allows you to discover the biblical text on your own or with a group.
This 26-session book-by-book survey covers all the books in the Bible. Designed for persons who are not well-acquainted with the Bible, this resource is clearly written and easy-to-use, drawing the reader into the biblical text. Although you will "page through" the entire Bible by the end of the study, Books of the Bible only deals with major themes.
An excellent primer for persons to gain confidence to tackle a more in-depth study, such as Genesis to Revelation, Journey Through the Bible, or Disciple Bible Study.
Books of the Bible has informational articles about major sections of the Bible, and review pages at the end of major portions of the study.
Questions for group discussion are included in all 26 sessions.
In addition, there is an article for the leader and a pronunciation guide at the end of the study.
This book was terrible. I was assigned this book when attending an unaccredited "college" that winded up being a complete scam. Now that I am a student at an actual nationally accredited university, and have read several actual academic books on the New and Old Testament, I am only all the more aware of the level of garbage that this book is. Don't waste your money.
This study book was just okay. It's suitable for a beginner who has not read the Bible before. It is laid out okay but it skims past or ignores important details about Scripture. Tackling the Old and New Testaments like that requires a lot more detail in studying. So this was a very brief skim of Scripture for people who do not want to dig too deep.
