The Bible In Time

any people find the Bible a puzzling book, difficult to follow. Stephen Travis offers a solution for people who long to read and understand the Bible but simply to not know where to begin. The Bible in Time offers the reader a sense of the developing story of the Bible by offering commentary on 130 passages in chronological order. The first passage treated is the Prologue to John's Gospel ("In the Beginning was the Word . . .") This is a book for people who want a better sense of how the Bible fits together as a whole, who want an introduction to the basic themes of biblical faith, and who want to read the Bible regularly for themselves. Stephen Travis is vice-principal of St. John's College in Nottingham, England. He has written several books designed to relate the message of the Bible to contemporary life, including Starting with the Old Testament and Starting with the New Testament.
