Being raised in the Church, I feel I have a pretty good grasp on scripture and what it contains. However I am the type of person that like to know a little more, like why did this book make it in to the canon and other did not. While “The Story of the Bible” by Larry Stone didn’t answer all of these questions it did provide some wonderful insights into how the books of the bible were assembled into one volume. It also shared the role the Scriptures have played in history, the stories of those that have given their lives to make the Bible available for everyone. The pullouts the book contains are well done and presented well but could have been made part of the pages in the books and served their purpose. In a digital age I believe the publisher would have been better served to provide digital copies of these documents so that they could have been used in teaching to large group settings. All I all this is a good reference piece and will be use full for personal study and in a small group setting.
