As the teaser on the dust cover indicates - "In your hands you hold a key to wonder and astonishment. The Bible speaks for itself. But the prodigious story of the Bible is not self-evident. It is not one book, but a library of sixty-six, most of these divided and subdivided still further. It was not written by one or a few men, but narrated and sung and written down by hundreds, and edited by scores more, in many different places, under widely varied historical circumstances, over the vast, changing period of at least fifteen hundred year....Mr. Williams has in The Book By My Side written a guide to the Bible, which gathers and simplifies the learning of many scholars....But its great value is that it will send readers back to the Bible with a new understanding of the mightiest, most complex of books."
