The TL;DR Edition Of All 66 Books Of The Bible

 

February 15th, 2018

Luckily for you, we at The Babylon Bee have studied our official company Scofield Reference Bible for the past 80 years in order to distill each of the 66 books down to a bite-sized snippet even you can understand. We reduced every book to a single, memorable line, so you don’t have to read a word of it for yourself. Nice!
Forget about reading through the Bible in a year—now you can read through the Bible in about five minutes!
