Many people coming to faith through initiatives like Fresh Expressions have had little or no contact with Christianity and are complete beginners when it comes to Christian basics.
In a relaxed and humorous style, this book helps readers get to grips with the Bible - 1500 pages of dense, small type is a daunting prospect for anyone. Working his way through the whole Bible, John Holdsworth focuses on the passages most likely to be heard in churches and uses these to explore
what is actually being said in each passage
the overall message of each book
original contexts and how to approach these texts today
differences of interpretation
questions raised for living in today's world
Fourteen chapters take readers through the whole Bible and each concludes with reflections and exercises that connect the Bible with daily life.
