Asimov's Guide to the Bible
- Asimov's Guide to the Bible
"Asimov's Guide to the Bible" is a work by Isaac Asimov that was first published in two volumes, covering the Old Testament (including the Apocrypha) in 1967 and the New Testament in 1969. He combined them into a single 1300-page volume in 1981.
Including numerous black-and-white maps, the guide goes through the books of the Bible in order, explaining the historical and geographical setting of each one and the political influences that affected it, as well as biographical information about the main characters. Asimov treats the secular aspects of the Bible with no theological commentary. It includes both biblical verse and subject indexes.
