Getting Started With the Bible is a beginner's guide which provides an easy way in to understanding individual books of the Bible and the entire panoramic of the biblical drama and message. Working his way through the whole Bible, John Holdsworth focuses on the passages most likely to be heard in churches and uses these to explore what is actually being said in each passage, the overall message of each book, original contexts and how to approach these texts today, differences of interpretation, and questions raised for living in today's world.
