Mining the Meaning of the Bible: Beyond the Literal Word

Mining the Meaning of the Bible is a simple guide for middle grade students to get to the meaning and message of the scriptures. It answers many questions including:

• What is the Bible?
• How did the books of the Bible come to be written?
• What are some of the more commonly used words and what do they mean?
• How do the cultures in which the Bible passages were written compare to now? And why is it important?

Mining the Meaning of the Bible is perfect for pre-teens through confirmation classes. This great resource uses graphical representations to aid in learning in ways that appeal to this age group:

• Maps of places mentioned and other key locations of the time period
• Tables that list books of the Bible, and symbols of numbers or places found throughout the Bible with their meaning
• Timelines
• Catechism references

It is a simple approach to understanding the meaning of the scriptures, beneath the literal words and mining the true riches of God's message.
