One great way to understand the Bible is to learn the overarching story of the Bible. Believe it or not, all of the books in the Bible tell one story – the story of God’s relationship with the masterpiece of his creation – us humans. This short summary of the entire Bible shows how that story unfolds and leads to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the formation and spread of his church.

Do you sometimes find the language of your Bible strange and difficult to understand? A different translation will probably help.
