This volume is a wonderfully reader-friendly resource for the beginning student in the study of the Bible. It combines Drane's two popular earlier works, Introducing the Old Testament and Introducing the New Testament, and adds a new CD-ROM. Drane writes in an accessible style, and the volume includes hundreds of black and white illustrations, tables, charts, photos, maps, and line-drawings. The CD-ROM uses Libronix software and offers not only the full text and links to the biblical references but also extensive additional study materials, such as chapter summaries, questions for review and discussion, and weblinks.
