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.

This is an absolutely amazing read or listen! Like I saw in a previous review, if you haven’t read the Bible, or never heard any of the stories in children’s church, this not for you. If you have read the Bible or know most of the stories, this is excellent. I LOVE the humor and the general breakdown of the books is so good. I give this narrator a 10/10. He has a great, crisp voice and the way he jokes, but not in a malicious way, made laugh a lot. I 100% recommend this book, whether it’s paperback or an audiobook. Get. This. Now.

Wow!

Well read by the narrator, this is a very good breakdown on the old and new testaments. The author covers the subject thoroughly while injecting a bit of humor so as to keep the book interesting, and engaging.
It also touches on the influence that the Bible has on our society to this day. At the end, there is a brief mention of the relationship between the three Abrahamic religions ; Judaism, Christianity and Islam. I think the author could’ve spent a bit more time on that.
Well worth the listen! Especially if you’re interested in studying the Bible but aren’t sure where or how to start.

Excellent Overview of the Old and New Testaments

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

That was different
