The Bible at a Glance (Faith Charts)

Upon receiving The Bible at a Glance Faith Chart written by Scott Hahn, I sat down & immediately read this Biblical Reading Aide from front to back. Who knew such an amount of information could be contained in a tri-fold chart? I found myself thinking back to scripture read previously, but which I did not feel I had truly understood the meaning.This Faith Chart,as there are others, broke down the contents of the Bible in a way that I could read with more understanding. Mr. Hahn provides an aide to those who wish to enrich their Bible reading. He does so by providing short, concise synopses for the reader to gain a better view of history, prophets, saints, & God's Covenant with us through the sacrifice of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. I particularly appreciated section 2, "The Shape of the Bible." Within this section, the reader is able to understand how the Old & New Testaments support each other. Scott Hahn takes the enormity of the Bible & shows the reader how undertake this experience with joy versus trepidation.Both adults and children will enjoy The Bible at a Glance Faith Charts! The Bible at a Glance well worth the small investment. Scott Hahn has provided an excellent guide for the new reader, a lapsed reader, devoted, and/or a theological studied reader of God's Holy Word.Mr. Hahn has other Faith Charts available covering a variety of Biblical subjects. I highly recommend my first Faith Chart, The Bible at a Glance & will be purchasing others soon! For those who are interested in only books/phamphlets/readings with the approval of the Holy Catholic Church, The Bible at a Glance have the official Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur declaration on the last page.Thank you for reading my review. I would appreciate any feedback on how to improve my writings.

This is a good, visual overview of the Bible. It's a tri-fold glossy document on heavier stock paper.Page one provides an overview of the Bible as a whole - what is it, how is it structured, who were the authors, and how was the content (canon) determined.Page two continues this overview, briefly covering the relationship between the Bible and the Church (implied but not stated to be the Roman Catholic Church), the proper way of interpreting the Bible (explicitly Roman Catholic), and the usefulness of a defined reading program.Pages 3,4 & the first part of 5 provide 1-2 sentence summaries of every book of the Bible.The remainder of page 5 and page 6 are dedicated to indicating where in Scripture certain events and prophecies are recorded.This item is a document of the Roman Catholic Church, vetted through the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur. While there is a Catholic flavor to the document as a whole, it remains a useful summary tool for any Christian seeking a quick-reference to Scripture. The only real area where Catholic doctrine is obvious is in the repeated emphasis on Scripture as part of sacred Tradition.I would definitely recommend this resource to anyone wanting a handy quick reference on the Bible.

The Bible at a Glance is an excellent resource for our Ladies Catholic Bible Study. Because of its brevity, it is not intimidating for those who have not had a lot of Bible study in their past. It discusses the story of Salvation History leading into the many authors and styles of writing that make up the Bible.It consists of many literary forms which serve as a basis for good discusion. It's overview of the Bible is extensive yet not overwhelming. It explains the books of the Bible through the Old Testament and the writings of the New Testament. It also includes a quick guide to find favorite stories and sayings. It is colorful, brief and very complete. It is definitely an excellent resource for Catholics and it even includes scripture passages that refer to the mysteries of the Rosary, readings at Mass, and scriptural references to the Sacraments.

I ordered several of these - so I could share them. The information is concise and very clear. It helps you find important parts of the Bible which explain ideas which can be difficult to explain to others. It explains what the Bible is, how it was written and describes it's contents. It covers important people in the Old and New Testaments and ends with a wonderful guide of Where to Find . . . favorite stories, sayings, prophecies, and important facts and events in the Bible.I lead a prayer group at our church in Camas, and I find this little folder to be a great help.

As ordered

Love it! We do "Secret Saints" at our church, where the 6 weeks before Confirmation, someone chooses one of the Confirmandi, to send secret gifts, cards, words of encouragement... each week leading up to Confirmation. I like to encourage knowledge of their Catholic Faith, so I can secretly send one of these per week. They really seem to enjoy it & they can keep this throughout their life & refer back to it or learn from it. Young & old alike can learn much from these "Faith Charts"! Catholic & non-catholic too!

I use these in the RCIA and teaching Bible Study in a Catholic Parish. Dr Hahn is one of our leading Scripture Scholars and this Bible at a Glance Faith fold out is comprehensive, yet easy to read. All the books of the Bible, Covenant Theology, Sacraments and much, much more. It is my go-to resource.

This handy little reference, may be small in size, but it has a giant amount of information.My wife has used in preparation for her Bible study group, and has only good things to say about it.She showed it to her group at a recent meeting, and several members have ordered their own copy.Good things DO come in small packages.

So much information presented logically and as it says gives an overview of the Holy Bible. It complements my Great Adventure Timeline course material and is a useful quick reference. Very pleased and highly recommend this, especially for the Bible student with so much to learn and so little time.

This is a great learning tool for me and my 14 year old son. We are both learning Catholicism. I am a revert after over 20 years.

Good guide and reference, assists in finding bible phrases

It's beautiful and just what I needed.
