What You Didn't Know About the Bible

About this book

This fascinating volume is a complete book-by-book question-and-answer approach to an understanding of the background contents and teachings of the "Book of Books." Over 2 650 thought-provoking questions and answers on the Old and New Testaments as well as the Apocrypha cover a multitude of topics: What words from Leviticus are inscribed on the Liberty Bell? What was Solomons program of public works? What Psalm is regularly sung at Harvard ceremonies? What psychosomatic insights are found in Proverbs? What is the meaning of the word "Apocrypha"? The introductory section answers questions about the Bible as a whole: what constitutes the "Canon of Scripture;" what is meant by an "authorized version;" the significance of the Gutenberg Bible; and other basic facts. Specific information about the sources the writers the historical periods and the political situations is given for each of the Biblical books. Extensive use of quotations by chapter and verse supplies the exact scriptural words that are needed in the answers and other relevant passages and citations are quoted from other books. What You Didnt Know About the Bible is a unique resource for study of the Bible.
