Greetings, By arriving at this page I hope you have felt the need or desire to have a better understanding of the Bible and what the Living Word of God has to offer us.

 

Have you ever arrived in a strange city and looked around at the different neighborhoods? You get an idea of the local area but really don’t get a chance to understand the whole layout of the whole city. But if you get into an airplane and fly over the city, you can see how the different neighborhoods come together to make the city a functional metropolis. This is what we will do here. We will first take a look at the Bible with a bird’s eye view and then begin to study the different books to finally see how it all comes together. The Bible is almost like a library in itself.

A superficial reading of the Bible shows it to be a collection of sixty-six books written during a period of about sixteen hundred years by about forty different authors.

And not only do we have all these separate books, each with many chapters, we also   have it split into the old and the new.  Another thing to notice is it is in sections from beginning to end.
