About this audiobook
Understanding the Bible will provide you with a foundational comprehension of the entirety of Scripture with a focus on broadening your vision of Jesus Christ.
This book answers foundational questions:
- Who wrote the Bible?
- What is its message?
- Why is it thought to be a "holy" book?
- How does one read and interpret it?
By delving into the geographical, religious, and historical concerns that shaped the world of biblical times, you'll see Jesus as never before: both as a man of his times and culture, and as the culmination of a divine providence that prepared the way for the ministry of the Messiah.
Written by renowned preacher, writer, and apologist John Stott, this new, expanded edition includes:
- Questions at the beginning of each chapter to help you focus.
- New, up-to-date maps for the chapters on history and geography.
- An index to help you speedily access areas of interest.
