Summary

When we first pick it up and open it, the Bible can seem confusing and perhaps even frightening. Gregory Dawes gives us this Introduction to the Bible, the indispensable prologue to the entire series of the New Collegeville Bible Commentary that anchors individual and group Bible study on the solid foundation of basic biblical vocabulary and concepts.

Author Biography

Gregory W. Dawes is senior lecturer in both religious studies and philosophy at the University of Otago (New Zealand).
