Reviews
‘I can urge you to buy this classic guidebook. Imagine an intelligent, funny, unpatronizing friend with a gift for instant explanation and clarification. That’s how you feel when using this newly revised edition. Jenkins untangles, enlightens and informs. The method is distillation - not dumbing-down.’
CY Magazine, Issue 41, August 2004
'This witty, entertaining, endlessly enjoyable guide to the Bible give just as much information as you are likely to need to cover your explorations of the 66 books. The whole book is absolutely marvellous and full of humour... It should have particular appeal to teenagers and young people who see the Bible as "boring". The Bible From Scratch certainly proves to be otherwise.'
Driffield Leader, June/July 2004
'Its innovative approach to the Bible offers some great ideas for church leaders who want to out their own programme together.'
Church of England Newspaper, 8th April 2004
‘Simon Jenkins has managed, quite remarkably, to sum up the whole of the Bible in a series of entertaining hand written pages, peppered with cartoons and humorous asides.’
Church of England Newspaper
‘While this book is engagingly and comically written, there is serious theology too. This is a book to give or recommend to someone who might be put off by serious theology but has intelligence to think about key issues in the Bible. This book is an excellent, popular summary of the Bible.’
