About this listen

Ninety percent of Americans own a copy of the Bible, and while it's the most widely read book, it's also the least understood. Regardless of your religion, understanding the Bible brings much of Western art, literature, and public discourse into greater focus - from Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" painting to the Wachowski brothers' The Matrix movies. People have historically turned to religion to deal with tragedy and change, and with the right insight, the Bible can be an accessible, helpful guide to life's big questions.

The Bible for Dummies appeals to people of all faiths, as well as those who don't practice any particular religion, by providing interfaith coverage of the entire Bible and the often fascinating background information that makes the Bible come alive. You'll find answers to such questions as:

  • Where did the Bible come from?
  • Who wrote the Bible?
  • How is the Bible put together?

Follow the history of the Bible from its beginning thousands of years ago as tattered scrolls to its status as the best seller of all time.

Facts & Explications

Liked the whole book. Facts & some humour. I think one needs the actual book while listening as it makes referencing to sidebars & notes found in the book. I look forward to listening to this book again w/my paper copy.

That was different

That was fun! If you are looking to learn the bible scripture and verse than this really isn't the book for you. If you are looking for the back story and and how a person should read and interpret the books than this is a great add on. If you are a new believer go read a bible. But if you know the bible this book will help make all the stories make since. And of course a little humor to break up the monotonous

Previously unappreciated literature and its connection with the Bible

Literature and origin of sayings and words and music are better understood with their biblical origins
