The Bible
Subjects / Religious Studies / Christianity
The Bible is the Holy Book for Christians. In this title we will be looking at what the Bible actually is and what it means to Christians. We shall also look at the different ways in which Christians interpret the Bible. People understand the Bible in different ways, and this can cause problems within the church and between different denominations. For some Christians the Bible is used as a guidebook for life. By reading what Jesus taught, or what Paul said in his letters to the early Christians, they choose their way of living. Another important aspect of the Bible is its use in worship. Bible readings form an important part of worship in churches, and many people read the Bible daily to help them in their lives.

Reviews
This title whetted my appetite for more. To be able to listen to this title and the other titles in this topic and come away with a detailed knowledge of the subject in question is no mean feat. The quality of the recordings is very high and this makes for a very easy listening experience. I very much hope that this company is able to replicate the quality of the titles that I listened to and make available a much bigger library of content. I have been told that this is the plan.
