Bible Panorama
Gerard Chrispin
Enjoying the whole Bible with a chapter-by-chapter guide.
This is a unique introduction to and survey of the Bible, giving an overview of each book of the Bible and taking into consideration the message of each verse, without actually being a verse-by-verse commentary. It provides a series of very memorable outlines for each chapter of the Bible. It also includes a succinct but vigorous defence of the Bible, and concludes with a number of reading schemes to guide the reader through the Scriptures.
