100-Minute Bible

100-Minute Bible

The "100-Minute Bible" is, strictly speaking, not a Bible, but rather a summary of The Bible. It was released in Canterbury, England, on September 17 2005 by publisher Leonard Budd.

Retired vicar Reverend Michael Hinton took about two years to condense the Old and New Testament to a pamphlet sized format with 58 pages.

It picks out the principal stories of the life and ministry of its central character, Jesus Christ. The social and theological context of these stories is provided by outlining the ups and downs of the history of his nation, Israel. It then proceeds to record the story of the growth of Christianity during the first century; firstly amongst the Jews themselves; then amongst the other peoples living in Israel and then throughout the eastern Mediterranean, even as far as Rome.

An example taken from the Sermon on the Mount::"Much of Jesus’ teaching was brought together when, seated on a hillside, he spoke to his disciples about life in the kingdom of God. He taught that true happiness comes from having the right attitudes. Those who are humble, concerned about the world’s sinfulness, gentle, devoted to goodness, merciful, single-minded in God’s service, and peace-lovers will be blessed by God. Those of his followers who are persecuted in this world should rejoice, because they will have a rich reward in the next."
