How to Read the Bible

By: Barry Clay

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Ever since Christianity began, the Bible has had a special place in the Christian religion. Its teachings span centuries and consist of histories, poetry, laws, proverbs, and letters. No one can understand Christianity without an understanding of the book Christians call the Word of God. This excerpt from the book "Solid Ground' explains the Bible for believers and unbelievers alike, covering who wrote it, under what circumstances, translations, and how to read it to obtain the most benefit from it. Mr. Clay warns against the pitfalls that many unwittingly fall into when trying to read the Bible, and he provides the foundation for Bible study and an understanding of Christianity that only a believer of many years can bring. Written for Christians and non-Christians, this title is the "Reader's Digest" version of what everyone should know about the Bible.
