"This richly illustrated introduction to the Christian Bible will serve many colleges, universities, and seminaries well, especially those with a two–semester sequence. It attends to historical and social contexts, recent archeological discoveries, and current scholarship both in the text and in well–placed sidebars. Drane presents a wide range of interpretations of key issues and questions, tending toward the traditional in his own conclusions. Distinct from many introductions, it also includes substantive discussions of theological matters in both testaments. The many illustrations of various periods, geographical settings, artifacts, and manuscripts, in addition to the maps and timelines that complement the text, creating an attractive and engaging presentation."
