This best-selling nonsectarian guide is designed for students undertaking their first systematic study of the Bible. It is the only single-volume introductory textbook that places each book of the Old Testament, Apocrypha, and the New Testament fully in its historical and cultural context. Understanding the Bible acquaints readers with the content as well as the major themes of each biblical book, and familiarizes them with the goals and methods of important scholarship.

From the Publisher:
The text's organization follows the order of the canonical Hebrew Bible, Christian Gospels, Pauline Letters, General Epistles and a Vision of End Time, and the subsequent history of the Judeo-Christian Bible.
Learning aids include lists of key themes at the beginning of each chapter, a complete glossary, review questions, bibliography, lists of key terms, and many visual aids, including attractively revised maps.
An extensive section entitled 'Ways of Studying the Bible' illustrates the methods and goals of modern biblical scholarship.
The introductory survey of ancient history extends from early Mesopotamia to the Greek and Roman periods.
