The Bible is big, complicated, and one of the most important books in human history.
A Firm Foundation introduces the book that many call sacred, but few have studied.
This versatile resource presents the Bible in plain language, with straightforward summaries, questions to facilitate discussion and reflection, and clearly defined terminology. It can stand alone, but works best as a companion to the bible.
The material within has been used to teach a variety of students, including nonreligious beginners, clergy-in-training, English-language learners, and followers of other major world religions.
Build a stronger understanding with A Firm Foundation.
