Description
turn to The Bible Explainer—
answering 250 who, what, when, where, and why questions about the world’s best-selling book.
People, places, things, and ideas are covered, from Genesis through Revelation, with insight, intrigue, and a dash of humor. Questions and answers are presented in logical order, from larger, more general issues (for example, “What is the Bible?”) through the more specific (such as “Was Jesus a pacifist?” and “What is the significance of 666?”).
Bible Explainer tackles the tough ones, too—like How could God “regret” making humans?Did God command Israel to commit genocide?Why do Christians follow the Old Testament’s teaching on homosexuality but not its commands about eating bacon and shrimp?The Bible Explainer acknowledges the variety of viewpoints in the larger Christian world while taking a conservative historical approach itself. It’s a fascinating read that will enhance your appreciation of scripture—plus, it’s illustrated in full color!

This is a very detailed book going through a lot of questions people have to ask about the Bible.
This is a book that takes awhile to read, sometimes you need to take a break and read something else, but it is a great book at explaining the Bible, one of the best I've read so far.
It covers topics like how to read the Gospels, Psalms, Proverbs, and different sections in the Bible to hot topics like homosexuality, slavery and so on. All questions are covered well, they are well thought out and explain things in ways we can understand and apply to our reading of the Bible. He even includes some humor like when he talks about the Bible's key characters and says Joshua was last seen as a cucumber in the VeggieTales story of Jericho, “Josh and the Big Wall.”
The book is split into 7 sections from Bible basics to The End...Where We Are Ultimately Headed and Are You In Christ? Unfortunately my copy ended at section 6 The Church and I didn't get to read the last part of the Church and sections 6&7.
I did enjoy reading this book and will apply a lot of the Bible Basics to my reading of the Bible. I also really liked how to read the Psalms, Proverbs, Gospels, etc. I will be applying this as well. I took some notes about reading some of these and look forward to applying them.
I'd like to thank NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for the advanced ARC. I was asked to give my honest opinion of the book, and this is my honest opinion.
