Dr. Michael Baker - President for Pentecostal Theological Seminary
I am so delightful and euphoric to peruse the draft of a theological work entitled, The Panoramic View of Bible authored by Dr. Shibu Thomas , an ardent theological student of mine at Faith Theological Seminary, Manakala, Adoor, India. I have read it with much curiosity and found that it contains very useful information, insights and instruction. Most striking reading normally emerges from a person , who has had lots of missionary experiences in life. Prior to his migration to US Shibu was actively involved in North Indian missionary work as an outstanding pastor and theological teacher. The study of the Bible in this form is an outcome of his passionate and dedicated work for the Lord . My personal association with him goes almost twenty five years back when he came to the seminary to learn the word of God in strict discipline. He was able to successfully complete his Bachelor of Divinity ( BD) course under Serampore University, Culcutta. We, faculty members, were indeed proud of his earnestness and achievements. During his seminary days we were able to notice his active involvement in preaching the gospel in outreach programs and conventions despite his academic commitments. Soon after his graduation he proceeded to North India to work in Madhya Pradesh and its surrounding regions as a passionate missionary for the Lord. Now he serves as the senior pastor of Calvary Church of God, Atlanta. This unique work is a scholarly and narrative description on various issues related to each book of the Bible. It remains as a compendium of sixty six chapters employing narrative , analytical and critical approaches. Though it is simpler in reading, even a non-theological member can easily comprehend, it provides wealth of innovative information and insights on most books of the Bible. He deals with each book against its socio-political and religious background and also enumerates the authorship issues , destination, purposes, community and theological emphases. On a closer analysis of this book one may imbibe the full benefit of attending theological studies in a seminary for three or four years. For this work the author has made use of most relevant and scholarly books and articles published recently. Doubtless, he succeeded in his attempt by proposing some basic principles for how to interpret and study the biblical passages more meaningfully. However, I congratulate the author for his strenuous attempt in bringing such a wonderful work for the public use. At the same time I have immense joy and pleasure to endorse this volume for the glory of God because it is quite worthy and useful to people who are interested to explore the Bible in its historical context. No doubt this work is going to be a worth resource to theological students as well as church members , even frontiers beyond. Rev. Dr. B.Varghese, B.A, B.D, M.Th , D.Th Principal Emeritus & Professor of N.T Studies, Faith Theological Seminary, Manakala, Adoor, India.

In the midst of thousands and thousands of Biblical books, question comes to our mind: “what is the necessity of another book?” But I consider this book is very simple and authentic for a serious student of the Bible to understand basic information about the books of the Bible. We must know the background, circumstances and time of the events took place. Knowing the author very closely and being my Pastor for the last 14 years, this book is the result of serious studies and investigations deeper into the facts and evidences. I recommend every student of the Bible to have a copy of this book in their Biblical collections. Thampy Mathew.

I enjoyed the reading of this Book. This book was helpful in understanding the context and background of each books of Bible. It has lot of information which I don’t think I would ever know by just reading Bible. A very organized study of each books with its authorship, dates and settings. A good way to know the summary of each book of Bible. Thank you Dr Shibu Thomas for all the effort you put for those who would love to know the Bible.

Michael Wane
Congratulation Dr. Shibu Thomas for this incredible piece of information about the context and background of the books of the Bible. I am very well-versed in the Bible, but this book opened up so much context for me that I literally bought 2 more copies to give to my parents and a friend. My family is all reading this now because they have seen how much I was impacted by the book.

Tom Albert
Very well written in a scholarly manner that makes it easy for the average reader to grasp, meditate on, and apply. I would highly recommend this resource as a required reading for anyone interested in leading a Bible Study or becoming any kind of leader in a local church. The book goes, for the most part, book by book through the ENTIRE BIBLE providing historical background, relevant controversies, and criticisms regarding authorship, dates, and authenticity.

Alex John
This was a book that I purchased that was required reading for a college class. The book is good and goes through the Bible book by book. It is a good reference book for someone wanting to know the history and background of the different books in the Bible. I have not completed the book as of yet.
