A Newcomer's Guide to the Bible

Author: Michael C. Armour

Textbook for the course: History of Christianity in a World Culture (SIBI Studio)

The Bible is the greatest bestseller of all time because of its content, clarity, and impact. There is no other book in existence more worthy of our reading, studying, applying its truths, and obeying its commands. The Newcomer's Guide to the Bible is an excellent nontechnical introduction to the Bible written to help all readers, especially those who are new to the Bible.

In a straightforward and panoramic style, Mike Armour helps us gain an overall perspective of the Bible - understanding its flow and how it all fits together. His goal is to give us an overview of the bible - a good look at the forest instead of an in-depth investigation of each tree.

This helpful overview of the bible will lay a foundation for a lifetime of personal Bible study and application. Given the fact that The Newcomer's Guide to the Bible is approaching 500,000 copies in print in a dozen languages, there is a definite probability that this simple yet compelling resource will be an immense blessing to thousands of readers for years to come.
