The Bible is best understood when each passage is read with careful regard to its relationship to surrounding passages and to the whole book. The Bible is often misinterpreted because portions – sometimes only phrases – are quoted out of context.
This section gives a general overview of the entire Bible. The purpose here is to give a sense of the Bible’s organization and a broad sweep of its narratives.
Later, in other sections, attention will focus on specific Bible statements. But here, the objective is just to provide an overall familiarity with God’s book.
