A Summary of the Bible

The Bible isn’t generally a book that we read from beginning to end, we tend to dip into different parts of it. That means that sometimes when you start reading a chapter, you think: ‘where am I in the story? I need to know where what I’m reading fits into the overall picture.’

To help with that we’ve put together the resource below. It’s a list of all the 66 books of the Bible and each of them has a link to a chapter-by-chapter summary of that book. Here’s what you’ll see when you click a link, using the four chapters of Ruth as an example.
