Anyone looking for a survey of Scripture will be impressed with the breadth and depth of this overview of both Testaments. It balances easy-to-read introductory topics with a lively survey of the content of each book that includes beautiful pictures, charts, models, lists, theological reflections, and practical application.

For a pastor who wants to be sure that his people have a basic understanding of what the Bible is and how its message affects their lives, Hindson and Towns have done a monumental service for the churches and for the kingdom of God.
