The Good Book Stall

A massive tome, packed full of information! No, I have not read every word, but I have spent hours pouring through items that caught my attention, being led on to others, and learning all the time. There is not a biased interpretation of any subject. The Editors specifically instructed the contributors to give space to opinions contrary to their own, resulting in balanced presentations throughout. Students will find this book of invaluable help whether seriously studying for exams or just wishing to deepen their understanding of the Old Testament writings. If you borrow it from a Library, you will have difficulty returning it within the time limit!
