About this listen
Understanding the Bible will provide you with a foundational comprehension of the entirety of Scripture with a focus on broadening your vision of Jesus Christ.
This book answers foundational questions:
- Who wrote the Bible?
- What is its message?
- Why is it thought to be a "holy" book?
- How does one read and interpret it?
By delving into the geographical, religious, and historical concerns that shaped the world of biblical times, you'll see Jesus as never before: both as a man of his times and culture, and as the culmination of a divine providence that prepared the way for the ministry of the Messiah.
Written by renowned preacher, writer, and apologist John Stott, this new, expanded edition includes questions at the beginning of each chapter to help you focus.

Story
In this comprehensive exposition, a leading New Testament scholar explores the unfolding theological unity of the entire Bible from the vantage point of the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom.

The problem most of us have with the Bible is that we started out studying the details without ever getting the big picture. It's no wonder we're confused! In the Colorado Rockies, there are so many mountain peaks, nobody could climb them all. But there are 53 peaks that are over 14,000 feet. And many hikers try to climb all 53 fourteeners. That's what Max Anders does in this Bible study. You'll look at only the fourteeners - a manageable amount of information.

A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word.

N. T.

Wright takes a deep dive into Romans 8, showing how it illuminates so much else that God reveals in Scripture: God the Father, Christology, and the Spirit; Jesus' Messiahship, cross, resurrection, and ascension; salvation, redemption, and adoption; suffering and glory; holiness and hope.

Story
As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

This was the best explanation of the Bible
I've always questioned why certain things are used in the context they are used in today's world and is said to be from the Bible. it makes you say well that makes no sense, but this book gives a different perspective of what, why, who and where. Definitely worth a listen.

Educational and Fair
Those who want to hear whether the Biblical has a story from a common theme that references scripture and states differing opinions to his own will like this book. It is not emotional but educational and fair in its analysis. The reader does a great job as well.

very good introduction
this book is a very good introduction to how to read and understand the Bible. if you are looking for something a little more in depth or advanced, then look at "how to read the Bible for all its worth" by Fee. however, this book will still be a good refresher and reminder of the Bible's truths and meta narrative.

Very dense read. Not very adequate for audio
Would you consider the audio edition of Understanding the Bible to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version, but I would assume that print would be more adequate than audio because the subject matter and the content of this book is extremely rich and dense. I often found myself needing to go back to better understand what was said, but rewinding by 30 minutes didn't really do the job. I also had to slow down the reading speed to 0.75x the original speed.
What other book might you compare Understanding the Bible to and why?
NA
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No
Any additional comments?
This book contains some very deep thoughts and life guidance. It's ability to answer some core questions and doubts around the bible are very complete and does not seek to conveniently omit contradicting arguments. It is also beautifully written. I will need to reread this book to soak it in a second time around
