Complete Bible History: From the Creation of the World Down to the Death of the Apostles

The teaching of the 2nd Vatican Council on Scripture indicates to the faithful that God writes into the fabric of history in the way that men write words on paper. As the author of all creation, God's providence in time reveals to us something about who He is and His purpose for humanity. Nowhere is this more the case than in the events, characters, and actions which are recorded in Sacred Scripture. Sacred Scripture gives us a history of a people chosen from all other peoples of the earth to be a beacon of God's truth to a world covered in the darkness of ignorance. The History of Sacred Scripture is especially important because the Revealed Word of God in text and as such, it is a record of God's special interaction with man kind. However, as the 2nd Vatican Council also taught, the Bible is God's word but expressed according to human modes of communication. When we are unaware of the overall narrative and expression of the events recorded in Sacred Scripture then we risk misunderstanding God and his plan for our lives-not good! Thankfully, Sadlier & Co. took it upon themselves to provide a Complete Bible History: From the Creation of the World Down to the Death of the Apostles. Through their careful scholarship, the authors provide a careful examination of both the unity of the Bible as a whole and a penetration of the most important characters in Scripture.
