When you need help understanding God's Word, turn to The Bible Explainer-- answering 250 who, what, when, where, and why questions about the world's best-selling book. People, places, things, and ideas are covered, from Genesis through Revelation, with insight, intrigue, and a dash of humor. Questions and answers are presented in logical order, from larger, more general issues (for example, "What is the Bible?") through the more specific (such as "Was Jesus a pacifist?" and "What is the significance of 666?"). Bible Explainer tackles the tough ones, too--like How could God "regret" making humans? Did God command Israel to commit genocide? Why do Christians follow the Old Testament's teaching on homosexuality but not its commands about eating bacon and shrimp? The Bible Explainer acknowledges the variety of viewpoints in the larger Christian world while taking a conservative historical approach itself. It's a fascinating read that will enhance your appreciation of scripture--plus, it's illustrated in full color!

Offering a concise and engaging approach to scripture, this guide enhances understanding and appreciation of the Bible. It presents key concepts and themes in a visually appealing format, making it accessible for readers of all backgrounds. By breaking down complex ideas into digestible segments, it encourages deeper reflection and connection with God's Word, ultimately enriching the reader's spiritual journey.

The book addresses the tension within modern evangelicalism, cautioning against the risk of over-correcting from past fundamentalism. It emphasizes the importance of balancing social concerns with core doctrinal beliefs, advocating for a commitment to both right practice and right belief. The message serves as a reminder to maintain faith and conviction amidst evolving perspectives.

Drawing heavily on the story of Scripture, this book persuasively explains how our next life actually supplies deep significance for the life we enjoy now encouraging us to celebrate creation, hone our humanity, and extend the grace of redemption to every corner of our existence.
