"Given that the Bible is from another time and another culture, all
of us need help in understanding the Bible, its culture, and its
intent. This Companion will be a valued friend to Bible readers. It
is easily accessible and is packed with information and insight
from the very best scholars. It provides helpful articles on
crucial topics and a pathway through the entire Bible by showing
the layout of each book and giving brief explanations of each
section in the book. Lay readers of the Bible will love this
reference work." Review of Biblical Literature
"A handbook on the Bible that can be used by both novices as well
as students and laypeople in the church. . . . The articles are
well written and the commentary balanced and knowledgeable. There
is a wealth of introductory information that will help orient Bible
readers to deeper biblical study. It will prove a valuable
resource." Reviews in Religion & Theology
"A much needed aid to Christians who are hesitant to start the
journey of reading the Bible. . . . It is a signpost or road map
gently pointing to the journey of biblical exploration, discovery,
and enlightenment." Covenant Companion
"A valuable addition to the bookshelf of those who value Scripture,
whether they are new to the Bible or long steeped in its content.
If offers ready and trustworthy reference, particularly for those
without formal theological training." Denver Journal
"This prodigious volume will abundantly inform pastors, teachers,
and lay Christians. It richly deserves a prominent place on one's
library alongside the Bible itself." Bible Today
"A fine resource for the beginning student, as well as a refresher
for those with more advanced biblical knowledge." Near Eastern
Archaeological Society Bulletin
"Although this book is written for the laymen, scholars can learn
from it as well. . . . Definitely, this book should be on
everyone's desk and readily available during any reading or
studying of the Bible." Library Journal
"This reader-friendly, book-by-book introduction to the key texts
of Christianity is ideal for the lone reader or the church-based
Bible reading group."
