DEEPEN YOUR UNDERSTANDING WITH INTRODUCTIONS AND NOTES

To help you truly understand what you’re reading, each book of the Bible begins with an introduction that provides the historical context of the work, its literary style, its main themes, its use in the history of the church, as well as an outline of the contents. As you read the Scriptures, notes have been provided at the bottom of the page offering explanations for particular passages, terms, and concepts. This additional guidance will help you uncover the rich tradition of interpretation that spans centuries.

CONNECTED READING WITH CROSS-REFERENCES AND MAPS

Since Scripture often refers to itself, a system of cross-references has been provided so you can see where else historical figures, particular stories, or similar concepts are also treated in the Bible. At the end of the Bible, sixteen pages of color maps are provided to help orient the Bible’s stories in their geographical context. This will enable you to visualize the events and people of the Bible in a new way, deepening your understanding and connection to the text.
