This is a great tool for refreshing Bible knowledge even for adults. Pleasanty read.

Twenty years ago, the image of burning copies of Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" held aloft by thousand-strong mobs of protestors became an internationally familiar symbol of anger and offence. Kenan Malik examines how the Rushdie affair transformed the debate worldwide on multiculturalism, tolerance and free speech, helped fuel the rise of radical Islam and pointed the way to the horrors of 9/11 and 7/7.
The 100-Minute Bible is an abridgement of the traditional Bible which has primarily been written for people who are interested in Christian and spiritual matters but who do not have time to read through a whole traditional Bible. Divided into 50 sections it starts with the creation and moves though the history of the Jews in Old Testament times, the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, and an outline of issues facing the early Christian church before ending with the Revelation of John.
