Explains the organization of the Bible, the different genres of biblical writing, key figures in biblical history, and the methods Catholics have developed to interpret the Bible properly in easy-to-understand language. Original.
I found this book very helpful as a review of what is in the Bible. When I was a child, I took Bible history but really never saw a Bible. As Catholics we were supposed to listen to the learned people and learn from them what was in the Bible. As an adult I have taken at least two courses on the Bible. This book about the Bible is written in a very basic style and could be used by Middle School children and also Teenagers. It could also be used by older adults, like me, who never learned about the Bible when we were young. I like the title GOD'S LIBRARY as the Bible is composed of many different kinds and styles of writing, just as in a library you will find many different kinds and styles of books written by many different authors.
I found this to be very interesting, informative, and helpful. It has even inspired me to read the Bible more often! (That's what I was hoping for when I selected this book in the first place.)
