About this listen

Ninety percent of Americans own a copy of the Bible, and while it's the most widely read book, it's also the least understood. Regardless of your religion, understanding the Bible brings much of Western art, literature, and public discourse into greater focus - from Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" painting to the Wachowski brothers' The Matrix movies. People have historically turned to religion to deal with tragedy and change, and with the right insight, the Bible can be an accessible, helpful guide to life's big questions.

The Bible for Dummies appeals to people of all faiths, as well as those who don't practice any particular religion, by providing interfaith coverage of the entire Bible and the often fascinating background information that makes the Bible come alive. You'll find answers to such questions as:

  • Where did the Bible come from?
  • Who wrote the Bible?
  • How is the Bible put together?

Follow the history of the Bible from its beginning thousands of years ago as tattered scrolls to its status as the best seller of all time.

great book enthusiastically read.

really enjoyed this book was such an easy listen. its a great way of going through the bible without a long drawn out process of reading the bible in its entirety, which i would still recommend for anyone to do at least once in their life, but this is a great way to get a fun refresh overview into the teachings of the scriptures.

good breakdown of the bible.

good breakdown of the bible to save you having to plod through the text especially the old testament. the jokes and attempt at light hearted humour are really poor and it would be so much better without them.

Great Overview

This audiobook was a great overview of the entire Bible.

It has inspired me to read the actual Bible with a new hunger for the Good News of the Kingdom of God.
