Why was it written, and can it be trusted? Why should we read it? In this revised edition of a classic work, John Stott answers these questions. With clarity and authority he spells out the Bible’s purpose, outlines the story and examines relevant social, historical and geographical contexts. But this book is far more than an examination of content – it gives us principles for relating the Bible directly and powerfully to our daily lives.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">John R.
