The Bible's Top Fifty Ideas
The author's theory is that if one knows 50 verses of the 5000 in the Torah (1%!), the reader will begin to grasp the essence of the Bible This is a revolutionary approach. Finally, a book about the Bible that is accessible, which focuses on its great moral principles, and not about passages which relate long genealogies, and complicated priestly rituals at the altar.
