The Bible is the world’s best-selling book of all times. It is both a sacred text and a literary triumph. It is the starting point for two world religions and a cornerstone in the western literature and civilization. This is the book for all who need to brush upon their knowledge about the Bible, and for those who never opened it.

Is it possible to understand our own history, language and culture, if we don’t know the Bible? Alf Kjetil Walgermo has written a knowledgeableand accessible guide to the Bible. With a curious mind and educational sense, he takes the reader along into the most important and influential book ever written.

“Walgermo’s combination of humility and respect for the original text, and his bold contemporary reading of it, is just liberating, enlightening and engaging.”
