NCLA Review - This is a very accessible, easy-to-read and understand introduction to the Bible. It follows the structure of the Old and New Testaments, providing a chapter on each book of the Bible containing a synopsis, summaries of key messages, important background, and interpretation. Many full-color illustrations, charts, and maps are provided. However, this volume does not provide detailed exegesis, and does not replace a scholarly commentary. What it does do well is engage the general reader gently and informatively on the Bible, proving to be a very engaging companion volume. Also recommended for youth. The author, Peter Walker, has written a number of other well-regarded companion volumes to the Bible. Rating: 4 —KLF (
