The Bible was the first major book ever printed. No other book has been read by more people and published in more languages. It has had, and still has, a profound impact on world thought.

A proper understanding and use of the Bible requires not only familiarity with the contents and concepts of the Bible, but also a sound grasp of certain key principles of analysis and interpretation of the Bible as inspired literature.

This website makes available the text of several books by Professor David Gooding and Professor John Lennox. The foundational book, which provides a clear explanation of the key concepts which underpin much of the message of the Bible, is Key Bible Concepts.
