In this publication, the 66 books of the Sacred Scriptures are examined in turn. The setting of each book is described, and information is given concerning the writer, the time of writing, and in some cases the period covered. Proof is also presented to show that the book is authentic and that it rightly belongs as part of the inspired Scriptures. This proof may be found in the words of Jesus Christ or in the inspired writings of other servants of God. Very often the authenticity of the book is shown by undeniable fulfillments of Bible prophecy or by internal evidence from the book itself, such as its harmony, honesty, and candor. Supporting evidence may be taken from archaeological finds or reliable secular history.
As the contents of each book are described, the endeavor is to make the powerful message of the Bible writer stand out in such a way as to instill in the heart of the reader a deep love for the inspired Scriptures and their Author, Jehovah God, and thus to enhance appreciation for the living message of God’s Word with all its practicality, harmony, and beauty.

Este libro es una maravilla porque es el apoyo ideal para tener información de cada libro de la biblia, como su escritor, fecha, lugar y los temas que componen cada libro de la biblia, si que se lee en conjunto, no es obligatorio ni necesario pero si como yo te gusta saber los detalles de lo que lees sin día es una buena recomendación.
Para iniciar el estudio de La Biblia, desde diferentes "ángulos". A veces el libro se vuelve "pesado", pero, es por la canidad de información que se debe contrastar para evidenciar que La Biblia, es una escritura inspirada.
La evidencia mostrada referente a las "Escrituras Hebreas" y "Griegas" es sustentable. Personalmente me declaro un "hombre de poca fe", que busca "La Verdad" (en mayúscula), y que no se cansa de aprender y "desaprender".
Me llevo conmigo, para aplicar a mi vida: La inmerecida bondad que Dios Jehova nos muestra.
No le doy las 5 estrellas, pues los capitulos concernientes a la evidencia arqueologica son demasiado cortos, pero convincentes. A pesar de esto, y citando un parrafo del libro: "Tenga mas fe a La Biblia y no a la arquología", (es más fácil leerlo que aplicarlo).
A wonderful tool to help the serious Bible student to real dig into God’s Word. All 66 books of the Bible are carefully examined. Each chapter details the content of the book, it’s purpose, it’s writer, the time covered, and the place where it was written. Part II of the book begins on page 269 and it includes several deep and powerful chapters under the theme of “Studies on the Inspired Scriptures and their Backround” Whether you are a Jehovah’s Witness or not, if you want to dig deeper into the Bible, then I highly recommend that you read this book.
A very good overview of the Bible. Each book gets a chapter that reviews each book and shows why it is beneficial. There are maps and charts to help visualize things. It helps put things in order of events.
