The Bible is widely considered to be the most profound collection of books in all of history, and it includes messages and stories that are still referenced today in the secular world. But it’s long, complicated, hard to read, and not organized in chronological order.

In The Short Bible, author Dr. Peter Bylsma offers basic facts about the Bible, discusses the development of the modern Bible, and reviews its themes. He summarizes all the books of the Old and New Testaments in 25 short, easy-to-read chapters, capturing the epic stories, characters, and main ideas. Structured like a modern book, it also includes historical and geographical facts to help clarify the context of the events.

The Short Bible is appropriate for those who are already familiar with the Bible, those who want to better understand its overall themes, and those who simply want to know the fascinating stories and messages of the most read book of all time.

The Greatest Bible Love Story Ever Told

This book provides a summary of many of the stories and lessons that are described in the biblical documents.

Part 1 summarizes the Old Testament, with chapters 13 and 14 describing unique books that don’t fit into a chronological account. Part 2 summarizes the New Testament. The two parts are also called the Old Covenant and New Covenant. A period of 400 years separates the events described in the Old and New Testaments, and chapter 15 provides information about what happened during this time.

This summary is augmented with archeological findings, historical and geographical facts, and other clarifications to explain the contexts and meanings of the stories.
