THE BIBLE
By Derek Tidball
Monarch. 281 pages
ISBN 1 85424 608 9

I approached this book with some caution; the only time I heard Derek Tidball speak I was not sure he was as orthodox on the Bible as he should be. I'm happy to say that this book dispels those doubts.

And it's a daft title; the publishers need to be rebuked. Surely they know that there is another, better known, book called just 'The Bible'? This book is in the 'Thinking clearly' series: 'Thinking clearly about the Bible' would be a better title and still fit on the spine.
