Well-known educator Don Griggs has written an accessible, easy-to-understand overview of the Bible for adults who have--or fear they have--little or no Bible knowledge. In two volumes, one each for the Old and New Testaments, Griggs guides us through the Bible and introduces basic tools and skills for Bible study. Donald L. Griggs' popular volumes The Bible from The Old Testament for Beginners and The Bible from The New Testament for Beginners present basic themes, histories, personalities, and meanings of the Bible. A leader's guide and participant section are included for each book, making each volume an excellent resource for group or individual study.
I found this book to be helpful when trying to understand the New Testament. I particularly found the definitions from Revelation helpful. This book is very good if you have Bible studies, too.
Great overview of the New Testament -- though, with a view from 30,000 feet, it may be an overwhelming amount of information in a quick dose. Still, helpful information.
