The 30-Minute Bible (Exclusive Interview)

Is it possible to learn the entire story of Scripture in just 30 minutes a day for 30 days?

This is the question that animates and inspires The 30-Minute Bible, a new release from IVP Press. In this book, expert Bible scholar Craig Bartholomew partners with longtime Bible teacher and lay leader Paige Vanosky to bring their shared areas of expertise into conversation, and the results are truly unique and inspiring. Here, in a single volume, you find a rare depth of biblical scholarship that is accessible and inspiring to all Christians, regardless of training, experience, or background.

You may know many of the stories within the Bible, but if you’ve ever struggled to grasp how these stories relate to one another and find their place in the single story of Scripture, then this is the book for you!

In fact, we here at Dwell love this book so much that we’re dedicating an entire summer to it! Head over to our Summer Book Club landing page for all the details and to sign up.
