The Bible For Dummies (9781119293507) was previously published as The Bible For Dummies (9780764552960). While this version features a new Dummies cover and design, the content is the same as the prior release and should not be considered a new or updated product. Discover the world’s all-time bestseller in an entirely new light 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 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. Review: This will help in your faith journey - I like this as a study aid, it writes things in a little bit different way to help me understand the Bible and scripture much better. I would recommend this for someone that is trying to learn the basics of the Bible. Review: Very easy to read and understand - I highly recommend reading this book. I’ve read the Bible several times but I lose so much reading in the moment & not connecting the past. This book helps connect the Old and New Testament as if they’re reading to you.

This dummy needs another dummy part two
I only give the book 4 stars because the book was still big for a dummy like me. I think there needs to be a dummy’s book for the dummies book. Seriously. This subject seems to need for your degree to cover. I’ll attempt to read the book again, but it is a huge body of knowledge.

Very nice producNice product
I find this Bible for Dummies to be very informative, thought provoking with an easy-to-understand presentation without being preachy and with just a touch of entertaining humor. Though I read various translations of the bible, KJV, NIV, etc., I have found this Bible for Dummies to be entertaining and a good read.

Bibel light
Doesn't tell you who or what God is or why he did what he did (as told in the Bible). Tells you the stories of the Bible so that anyone can understand them. Like a summary of the Bible.

Clear, Balanced, and Surprisingly Engaging
The Bible For Dummies is a fantastic introduction for anyone who wants to understand the Bible without feeling overwhelmed. It breaks everything down in a clear, approachable way covering the main stories, themes, and historical context while keeping the tone light and easy to follow. What’s great is that it doesn’t assume prior knowledge. The authors explain complex ideas simply but respectfully, making it suitable for both beginners and those just wanting a refresher. It also helps connect how different parts of the Bible fit together, which gives a much clearer overall picture. It’s informative, well organised, and even quite entertaining at times a great resource for anyone curious about the Bible’s background, structure, and meaning.
