Most people don't understand the Bible's main themes because they haven't had the time or patience to read and study such a long and complicated book. After the author read the Bible again more closely and analytically, he was surprised by what he discovered, both what it said and what it didn't say.

The 19 chapters of The Bible I Never Knew present facts about the Bible and its context and concise summaries of its major themes. The book relies on more than 6,000 scripture verses to illustrate the depth of what was written on the topics.

This thematic approach helps readers gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the scriptures. The book has three parts and a set of appendices.
