Title: Strong and thorough overview, problem with prophecy
Review: Overall, the book is well presented and breaks down not just each book in the Bible, but also the topics or teachings from each book. I found it very thorough (though this is not to be confused with a Biblical history text) with enough information to keep perspectives of timelines and order of events in our history. Specifically, she explained very well the times of the prophets and possible relationships to one another. Mrs. Mears is clearly a dispensationalist regarding eschatology (study of the end times). Meaning, she believes that prophecy is interpreted in a specific way with which I disagree. I do not think this detracts from her Biblical knowledge or that she has a saving faith in any way; I just want potential readers to know this in advance that her book espouses a specific view of prophecy and the end times. I find the book very good and helpful overall.
