Description

After Chapters and Verses traces the history of the features that were added over time to the Bible such as chapter and verse numbers, section headings and study notes. It shows how these features get in the way of our understanding the Scriptures, and it explains how the International Bible Society (now Biblica) designed a new format to remove these roadblocks to reading and comprehension.

The book also looks to the future, showing how we can read, study, preach, and teach the Bible more meaningfully and effectively by engaging its books the way their authors originally intended.
