A newcomer to the Bible may be compared to a visitor to an ancient city. The tourist will enjoy the beauty and grace of the old buildings and streets, and will sense the spirit of the place, but to understand the city and the story behind it--he or she needs a spoken or written guide. Such a guide may even enlighten someone who lives in the city, and is familiar with it. Similarly, with the Bible, it is not necessary to know the background and composition of the Bible to find it challenging and inspiring. But a guidebook definitely helps to clarify and illuminate. This book is such a guide. It begins by explanning the basic facts about the 66-book library, giving a brief introduction to each book. This is followed by archaeological facts and how the Bible came to be written and translated through the centuries. To enable the reader to have a better overview of the complete Bible, the key events in the history of the Israelites, the life of Christ, and the early Church are given. The last section explains many of the more perplexing Bible customs, as well as interesting Bible symbols.
