This reference guide features • Introductions and a glossary for each major section of the Scriptures; • An “At a Glance” section summarizing key attributes of each book; • Presentation of the book’s structure, content, major themes, and the consensus opinion about the human author; • The literary form of the book; • Key passages of each book, including the most famous references; • A “Food for Thought” section intended to lead readers to meditate on what the book means for their own lives.This is a reference guide you will want to have with you every time you open the Bible!
