Great Historical and Interpretive Overview of Bible

This is a great, scholarly overview of each book of the Bible. The authors tried to only present good observations and stay away from interpretations of the text. I highly recommend this series for any serious student of the text who wants the text to say what it says!

just what I needed

Talk Thru the Bible provided me with what most commentaries cannot-- a clear and concise overview of the Bible that saved me the time and trouble of wading through paragraphs of tedious text. Wilkinson and Boa did an excellent job charting the outlines of each book of the Bible, providing capsulated information on the background and theme of each book, and explaining the Bible in modern-day English. I highly recommend this resource to any Bible student, Sunday School teacher, Bible study leader. In fact, it's thorough enough to meet the need of most Bible teachers, but also simple enough for any Christian. My library is incomplete without it.

This is a great survey book.

If you are looking for an easy to understand survey book, then this is what you want. Talk Thru the Bible does a good job explaining the historical background, date, theological contributions, and authorship of each book by highlighting the big ideas presented. It is written from a conservative evangelical perspective in a conversational mood and is devoid of heavy theological language. Besides what you'd expect to find in a survey book, Talk Thru the Bible also offers explanations of Hebrew poetry which you can understand, nifty charts, and outlines detailed enough that you could develop sermons from them. All the articles are short and easy to digest--which is perfect for the micro wave attention spans (short) we all seem to have these days. This would be my choice of a textbook if I were to teach Old or New Testament survey.

A wonderful resource for the serious Bible student

This is a wonderful resource for any serious student of the Bible. Use it right along with your Bible to help you better understand the who, what, when, where of each book of the Bible and how it fits together as a whole. I find it very easy to follow and would highly recommend it for any Christian's library. Now I am even more excited than ever to dig deep into the treasures of God's word!

Talk Thru The Bible

I have used this resource for casual and in-depth Bible study. Every book in the Bible is reviewed, names defined, key theme, key verse identified and more. The Old Testament writers are charted in order that "at-a-glance" the reader can see whom was ministering as contemporaries. This is a simple, yet complete resource. My library is incomplete with out it.
