Finding an introduction to the Bible without any denominational strings attached is difficult, if not impossible. Browse the shelves at any bookstore and you'll find dozens of books calling themselves introductions to the Bible, but once you get to the text instead of scholarly, unbiased information you'll find what the author or his denomination thinks the Bible says. You will also find that very few of these books actually make the reader want to pick up a Bible and read it. The Bible is a complex work simply too good to be left to wide-eyed televangelists and cranky old scholars alone-this book provides the information about the Bible many readers crave without making them feel like they have stumbled into somebody else's religious service. Absolute Beginner's Guide to the Bible gives readers, whether new to the Bible or looking for a refresher course, a framework to their Biblical studies. Tom Head, a theological Ph.D. student and author, teaches readers how to look at the Bible with an eye for history, literature, interpretation, and fun. In addition readers will learn a vocabulary they can use to study and discuss the Bible with others. With thorough coverage of the history of the Bible and how it came to be the book it is today, the fascinating stories and people of the Old and New Testaments, as well as resources for further study, this book will change the way people read and feel about the Bible.
