'The Bible in Western Culture will help a Christian beginner or a non-Christian researcher to understand the Bible's main stories, points and characters.. a good companion for students.' – Methodist Recorder

'A welcome addition to the growing numbers of religious primers now available to a lay readership ... An ideal introduction to the Old and New Testament alike ... An indispensible reference point: a concise and practical text relevant to humanities courses with a biblical element.' – Journal of Ecclesiastical History

'Compiled for the growing number of people with absolutely no previous knowledge of the Bible, [this] little book will no doubt serve its intended readership.' – International Review of Biblical Studies
