Many introductory studies presume that their readers already possess a rudimentary knowledge of the Bible.But today, even the most commonBiblical terms are unfamiliar to broad segments of the population.When people like this develop an interest in Christianity, as mil-lions do, they find that the averageBible class is "over their heads."They also discover that basic reference materials about the Bible may exceed their level of understanding. A Newcomer's Guide to the Bible was written with these very people in mind.
