A useful text for a first approach to the Bible. For each biblical book, you will find an introduction of a few pages that will provide you with useful information for a better understanding of the biblical text.
The Bible - sixty-six books in one: an entire library of texts written over more than twenty centuries; forty different authors: kings, shepherds, ministers, archivists, doctors, poets, philosophers, prophets, apostles… a range of men from the most diverse social conditions. The literary genres are also very diverse: stories, lyrical poems, speeches, dramas, proverbs, letters… and, despite these differences, a wonderful unity of inspiration and thought!
Each of these biblical books has its own story, and we better understand its message if we know the circumstances in which it was written and who its author was, who the recipients were, when it was composed, and for what purpose. Sixty-six in One seeks to answer these questions.
