About this title

About the Author:

The Rt Revd and Rt Hon. George Carey, Baron Carey of Clifton, PC, FKC, was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1991 to 2002.

From Publishers Weekly:

Convinced that the Bible needs to be more relevant for contemporary culture, Archbishop of Canterbury Carey and a team of assembled scholars set out to provide an accessible guide to reading and understanding it. Each chapter of their book focuses on one biblical book; and individual scholars provide overview, outline and commentary on selected scripture units as an introduction to the message of the Bible for everyday life. For example, according to the overview of the Gospel of Mark, the message of Mark for everyday life concerns the way of discipleship. In addition, the volume contains a helpful appendix of key Christian beliefs, from the Ascension to worship, and their biblical origins. While the limited amount of space given to each biblical text often results in one-dimensionality, the readings do whet the appetite for a more complete meal from the biblical banquet.
