Open Questions

What does a "100 minute Bible" us about the understanding that God's Word is for us, to help us understand the Lord, and as a vehicle for Him to interact with us -- the most wonderful relationship we can ever experience?

Next open question -- will anyone even be surprised by this, let alone appalled?

I just can't imagine the fabulous scene in Nehemiah 8 with a "100 minute Bible."

From the BBC story:

"100-minute Bible designed for time-starved Christians

An 'abridged' version of the Bible is being released in Britain today.
Publishers say the 100-minute Bible is ideal for those who do not have time to read the original.
In the beginning there was the Bible and to read it chapter and verse would take months.
Now it has been turned into a slimmed down page turner in an effort to get more people to read it.
The 100-minute Bible contains just 20,000 words and it is aimed at those who do not have the time to go through the whole book.
The abridged version picks out stories of the life of Jesus Christ and records the growth of Christianity.
It was written by a retired head teacher and minister and supported by some influential church leaders. "
