The 100-Minute Bible, which says it summarizes every teaching from the Creation to the Revelation, was unveiled at Canterbury Cathedral by author the Rev. Michael Hinton.

Publishers The 100-Minute Press say the book is "ideal for for an upcoming rail or aeroplane journey."

How long does it to synopsize Gone With the Wind, 1984 or any other classic literary work? The Cliff's Notes version is never the same as actually reading the book.

Part of the enjoyment of any book outside pop fiction is the prose and the imagery. Even Green Eggs and Ham - wouldn't be the same if they just said, "Guy didn't want green eggs and ham, then decided he liked them after all. The end."

I love it when someone else sees the bible as a story book.

For those that believe various "interpretations" have corrupted the Bible, imagine what a 100 minute version will do. Worthless.

I, for one, would appreciate removing a lot of the "fluff" for the alleged 'facts'.

According to publicity for the book, the 100-Minute Bible "picks out the principle stories of the life and ministry of its central character, Jesus Christ." "The social and theological context of these stories is provided by outlining the ups and downs of the history of his nation, the Jews. It then proceeds to record the story of the growth of Christianity during the first century; firstly amongst the Jews themselves; then amongst the other peoples living in Israel and then throughout the eastern Mediterranean, even as far as Rome."

See, Vrai ...you told me to get the Cliff Notes version!
