The title of this book could not be more appropriate. If you Don't Know Much about the Bible when you start it, you will find yourself in that same condition when you finish. The reason is evident to any reader who starts off with a rudimentary understanding of the Scriptures, the title also describes the author. His other books may or may not be wonderful. I have no basis on which to decide. But this work is superficial. It has some interesting facts and conjectures, but no substance or grounding in Biblical scholarship or any scholarship for that matter. If you want to be entertained, it might do that. If you want to understand the Bible, get a good, modern translation and read it for yourself. This book is not worth your time.
