Description: This non-denominational introduction and analysis provides the guidelines and background information necessary to cushion the cultural and intellectual shocks the contemporary reader often receives while attempting to unravel the meaning of the scriptures. These central ideas and motifs are presented in a scholarly, yet easily understood manner. Frequently asked questions are discussed in the light of history, geography and archaeological findings.
