Inter-Varsity Press

Sixty-six books written by forty people over nearly 2000 years, in two languages and several different genres. A worldwide bestseller published in countless sizes and bindings, translations and languages. It has been sworn by in court, fought over by religious people, quoted in arguments. The Bible is clearly no ordinary book. How can we begin to read and understand it as a whole?

In his excellent overview, Vaughan Roberts gives the big picture - showing how the different parts of the Bible fit together under the theme of the kingdom of God. He gives us both the encouragement and the tools to read it with confidence and understanding. He points us to the Bible's supreme subject, Jesus Christ, and the salvation God offers through him.

Commendations

"In his excellent overview of the Bible, Vaughan Roberts gives 'the big picture', showing how different parts of the Bible fit together under the theme of the Kingdom of God. Each chapter covers an aspect of 'The Kingdom' and takes the reader on a journey from Genesis to Revelation. This is a book which encourages the reader to explore the Bible and to read it with confidence and understanding. Each chapter closes with a Bible study. A useful book for individual and group study." Connexion
