During his years of public ministry the author came to realise that the Bible was a closed book to the majority of people, whilst those who did read it were often confused by the apparent complexity of the work. This book sets out to demystify the Bible, setting each part in its historical, political and religious context, demonstrating that it is a record of the way in which God has made Himself known to succeeding generations. Being not several books so much as a series of narratives progressively disclosing the nature of God and His relationship with us.

Ken Hathaway comes from a family of clerics, with his father and his two brothers also being ministers. Following his training for the ministry, he served for many years in a country parish before taking up a teaching post in a minor public school where he became head of the department, sixth form tutor and finally deputy head. He was also invited to act as examiner at A levels
by the Oxford Local Exam Board. He then began developing his interests in business, whilst still continuing his ministry. He has also published many articles and edited a magazine. This book is
the product of his years in teaching and ministry during which he came to recognise the need for a much greater understanding and explanation of what our Christian faith really is.
