At your fingertips: the most vital information you need for reading and truly understanding the Bible. The Essential Bible Companion is a unique, easy-to-use reference guide that gives you clear, crisp insights into the Bible, book by book.
Developed by two world-class Bible scholars and the creator of The Bible in 90 Days curriculum, this compact reference tool visually lays out the key details for each book of the Bible, including:
- Essential background information, such as the underlying purpose, the key terms and concepts, and the key teachings about God in that book.
- An easy-to-reference timeline of the book with callouts for notable events.
- Important people to know.
- Key verses, maps, and historical introductions.
Between the brief introductions you might find in a study Bible and the overwhelming amount of detail in an exhaustive reference handbook or commentary, The Essential Bible Companion strikes the perfect balance of manageable information that doesn't distract or detract from Scripture itself.
This richly informative volume will assist you on your journey toward a well-grounded biblical faith.
