This seems to mostly in line with biblical scholarship, and is a pretty standard summary. A bit try at times, but that's to be expected.

I think this was the wrong book at the wrong time for me. When I pick up a book from Armstrong, I expect to learn some new things about religion and faith. In this case, however, I just couldn't keep my attention on the book.

If you want an overview of the Bible from both Christian and Jewish perspectives, I would start here. There is plenty of information.

A fascinating overview of the creation of the Bible, and how it has been interpreted throughout history to the present day.
