“The focus of the study is to present a brief summary ( condensed into 1-2 paragraphs) for each of the books of the Bible. Each summarization would need to include major events, themes, significant personalities, and genre for each separate book.”

Scripture Lite or Cliff Notes? You're not likely to learn much from 1 or 2 paragraphs per Bible book. It's like explaining the Civil War in 100 words of less. Just doesn't work very well.

Try reading the Bible first. Make your own notes, ask your own questions, write your own summaries. It works, really.

Thanks for the advice.

I do read the Bible, but admittedly, I have not spent hundreds of hours analyzing each book for the purposes of a formal presentation. The information gathered from the sites will be used in conjunction with the Bible for a group presentation within a limited time schedule.

A very brief summation of each of the 66 books is all that time will allow. If a reliable Christian source has already digested and provided this information, I would feel comfortable utilizing the source and passing this along to the others.
