Customer Reviews

Thanks, Duncan

Great for supplemental studying for PCUSA Bible Content Exam. There is a mistake on answer sheet for question #72 of the 1993 exam. The correct answer is (a) not (d).

Helpful for Beginning Bible Students

This book is helpful for Beginning Bible Students or for the Basic information of each section of the Bible. It gives an outline of the Books of the Bible including background, date of writing, and the author.

Nice for reference

At the end of the book, there are old bible content exams which was a great reference...a great reason alone to buy the book. The overview of the books of the Bible was minimal, but helpful to use to study.

excellent resource for....

This book is great if you are studying for the PCUSA Bible Content exam, for it has all of the old exams and answer keys. If you can "master" all of the exams, you will pass the content exam, and maybe even learn something!
