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.

About this product

Product Information

The Bible For Dummies (9780764552960) is now being published as The Bible For Dummies (9781119293507). While this version features an older Dummies cover and design, the content is the same as the new release and should not be considered a different product. 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 bestseller of all time. The Bible For Dummies covers these topics and more: Ten people in the Bible you should know The Hebrew Bible The Apocrypha's hidden treasures What's new about the New Testament Israel's wisdom, literature, and love poetry The Bible's enduring influence The prophets: more than fortunetellers Discover the world's all-time bestseller in an entirely new light. Whether you're interested in broadening your spiritual horizons, uncovering the symbolism of Western culture, or gaining a deeper understanding of the book you grew up reading, The Bible For Dummies has all the information you need to navigate this ancient and fascinating book.

No dummy after read.
A great read to give one an overall concept of the ancient texts called The Bible. I bought an extra copy for our bible study teacher. Great to loan out to christian newbees. Section relate to specific areas of the bible to continue your study. Note: I am a fan of the Dummies book series. At age 79, they are easy reading and informative.

Great book for a 'maturing' Christian! Would highly recommend it.
This is a great book that puts Bible stories in an easy to understand sequence, as well as providing a great review of the stories themselves. I'm not quite finished with the book, but I'm enjoying it and I've gained some new perspective based on the writers use of Hebrew and Greek word translations. I would recommend this book for someone whose been a Christian for awhile; however, I would not recommend this for a new Christian because some of the satire might be misleading or confusing.

Great for new believers!!
This book is a must for anyone new to their faith. The Bible can be a hard book to get through and this book really does a good job of explaining things and putting them into context as to what the words meant when they were written as well as what they mean to us now. I love the tidbits of history and trivia thrown in the mix too. It has really made a difference in how I read the Bible and understand what our Heavenly Father has for us.

I LOVE the title.
It is so easy to follow and learn from. I just LOVE it. It's simpler than reading the Bible. However I don't re comment NOT reading the Bible. I believe in the Bible very much, and still use it.
