Exploring the Scriptures : an overview of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation
"Effective Bible study begins with a clear understanding of the Bible as an inspired whole instead of sixty-six disjointed books. Exploring the Scriptures gives the serious student a panoramic view of God's Word that provides a firm foundation for more detailed study of books, passages, and themes of the Bible. Each book of Scripture is presented through a brief introduction, a concise outline, and a comprehensive summary of the book's content. Also included are special chapters dealing with the major divisions of Scripture and thirty-five maps and charts to help with visualization of important Bible content."-- Publisher's description
