The Book of Books: A Brief Introduction To The Bible

Many people have found The People's Bible to be the most reliable Bible commentary series published. It's the laypeople's Bible—down to earth, clearly written, easy to read and understand, filled with practical and contemporary applications. Each volume includes that book's complete text from the NIV Bible. The Christ-centered commentaries following the Scripture sections contain explanations of the text, historical background, maps, illustrations, and archaeological information. The People's Bible commentaries are great for personal or group study.

Book of Books provides a quick introduction to the author, content, and purpose of each book of the Bible. It includes introductions to the Apocrypha, a brief review of Jewish history, and an introduction to the New Testament manuscripts. This edition adds an introduction to the Dead Sea Scrolls and a critical review of several translations of the Scriptures, including the New Living Translation and God's Word.
