Concise Bible

This classic 1962 guide to the King James Bible collects the most famous passages from the Old and New Testaments and arranges them with intervening synopses of all sixty-six Biblical books. Under editor Frances Hazlitt's masterful direction, readers will quickly become fully acquainted with the broad sweep of the Bible and will come to a new, intimate understanding of oft-quoted verses. Intended as a spiritual and literary introduction to the King James Bible, The Concise Bible is an ideal companion for both longtime Bible readers and those newly curious about the Scriptures. Includes a new introduction by Hunter Baker.
