Are you willing to give a few hours of your time to understand the book that has consistently outsold all others - everywhere? What makes the Bible special? What message is it trying to convey, and why does it matter? What relevance does it have for today's world - and today's people? A Spectator's Guide to the Bible covers: * A PUBLISHER'S DREAM: Why the Bible is still history's bestseller * THE GENESIS OF EVERYTHING: Does the Bible really teach 6-day creation * HOW EVERYTHING IS GOOD: God, atheism and the point of life * WHY SO MUCH IS BAD: The Bible's diagnosis of our problem * PLAN A, B & C: Three things God intends to make right * THE GOOD LIFE: What's the point of the Old Testament law? * UNHOLY WAR: The violence of the Bible * KINGDOM COME: The Bible's vision of the true leader * ALPHA AND OMEGA: Jesus as the fulfillment of everything * THE GREAT WORK: The church's roles in society * THE FOUNDER OF CHRISTIANITY?: What the apostle Paul did and didn't do * THE END OF THE WORLD AND OTHER MYTHS: What God intends to do with everything and why it matters now
