Korean Edition Editor's Note
All aboard the exciting Bible Express!

There is a Korean proverb that says, “No matter where you go, you will always end up in Seoul.”
However, if you go around Seoul, you will have to go through unnecessary hardships.
It is wise to carry an accurate map and find the fastest route.
Why bother buying it?
In the past, churches only required people to read the Bible unconditionally.
He said that if you just read a lot without being taught how to read, you will understand it on your own.
However, it is rare for someone to understand the Bible in this way.
Even if you break it, it requires a huge investment of time.
Rather than wandering around the vast forest that is the Bible, if you explore it with an accurate map that shows the highways and byways of the Bible, you will find shortcuts to the Bible.
This book is the map you need to hold in your hand as you navigate the jungle of the Bible.
It will also serve as a great treasure map for you as you embark on an exciting Bible World adventure.
Author Terry Hall originally titled this book The Old & New Testament Express.
In other words, it is an 'express train that runs through the Old and New Testaments at high speed.'
In our terms, we might call it a "Bible KTX." It's a book that speeds through the Old and New Testaments, offering a quick, easy-to-understand overview of the entire Bible and a sketch of each book.
So how does this book differ from the author's other previously published book, "Bible Panorama"? This book is an in-depth edition of "Bible Panorama."
Building on the foundations of the previous work (with some overlapping material), this book provides a more in-depth overview of the Bible and an explanation of each book.

In particular, Terry Holman's unique sense and great strength is that he displays events on maps of each biblical era to help readers understand the biblical stories in three dimensions and to help them remember the contents of the Bible through pictures.
In addition, colorful pictures and diagrams were added to make it easier to understand the flow of the Bible.
Readers who have read 『Bible Panorama』 can read this book as a sequel to supplement the content of the previous work, and readers who have not read 『Bible Panorama』 can cover the content of the previous work by reading this book alone.
A student's blessing is to meet a good teacher.
If you meet a good teacher, an ordinary person can become a genius, but if you meet a bad teacher, a genius can become an ordinary person.
Even a child who had no interest in math can become one who studies math all night long if they meet a good teacher.
A teacher who teaches skillfully and effectively can awaken in children a new desire to learn and explore that they never had before.
However, a teacher who is not like that ends up draining the students' desire to learn.
In this respect, Terry Hall, the author of this book, is an excellent Bible teacher.
It dispels the perception that the Bible is dry and boring, encourages a desire to explore the Bible, and demonstrates that studying the Bible is truly an interesting endeavor.

Even those who, while reading the Bible through, became frustrated at Leviticus, or at the genealogy in Matthew, or who had to search through the Bible catalog to find the books of the minor prophets in the Old Testament or the book of Romans in the New Testament, will regain their enjoyment of the Bible and their desire to explore it if they embark on a Bible exploration guided by Terry Hall.
The work he does to show the forest and trees of the Bible really sticks in my head.
He shows the Bible on a wide screen in full color.
It allows us to see in three dimensions how the great stream of revelation in the 66 books of the Bible flows and where and when it unfolds in the geography of the Bible.
Here, he has a unique talent for making the central themes, events, and characters of each book of the Bible memorable through association.
If you read this book under his guidance, you will be able to grasp the main flow of the 66 books of the Bible at a glance.
It will truly penetrate the Bible through express.
Use this book as your navigation tool and embark on an exciting Bible adventure through all 66 books of the Bible!

Preface for Korean Readers

Take a high-speed journey through the world of the Old and New Testaments while looking at the big picture of the Bible!

Let's say you're visiting Seoul for the first time and don't know anything about the city.
Then you will have two choices.
The first is to continue exploring the city of Seoul, and the second is to climb up to Seoul Tower, the tallest building in Seoul, and start looking around the entire city.
The first choice looks very interesting.
So you can spend more time sightseeing in Seoul.
But the second choice is much more beneficial and enjoyable than the first.
At Seoul Tower, atop Namsan Mountain in the heart of Seoul, you will witness spectacular views of the entire city from 480 meters above sea level.
Then, even the area around Seoul will unfold like a miniature below you.
It's really fun to start with the big picture.
Then, from a high position like Seoul Tower, you can comfortably look at the details through binoculars.
The directional signs and introductions to major tourist attractions displayed on the Seoul Tower Observatory are a great help in understanding the entire city of Seoul.
From then on, as you tour Seoul, the panoramic view of the city you first saw from Seoul Tower will help you maintain a consistent perspective of Seoul at each tourist attraction.
It will give more meaning to everything you see because you can think about how the little pieces of Seoul you see are related to the bigger picture of Seoul.
Since you can look up at Seoul Tower from anywhere in Seoul, it will also provide consistency when referring to tourist maps and guidebooks in your hand.
In the years since I became a Christian, I have explored the Bible, the Word of God, as a teenager.
I read the Bible constantly, but it was just a collection of stories or sermons from the Bible.
Even though I had been reading the Bible for years, I never realized that Saul, who pursued David in the Old Testament, was not the same Saul who met the Lord on the road to Damascus in the New Testament and was converted.
Over the past 50 years, thanks to those around me, I have come to see the Bible in a bigger picture.
That is why it is meaningful to delve deeply into a part of the Bible while listening to a sermon or reading the Bible every day.
Because it allows us to view it as one tree in the great forest called the Bible.
I pray that Korean readers will also have the opportunity to look down on the Bible from a high skyscraper.
I am grateful that this book, “Bible Express,” is being published in Korean.
To this end, I would like to express my special gratitude to the dedicated and creative workers at Kyujang Publishing for their hard work.
Koreans are really amazing.
Over 8,000 Korean missionaries are preaching the gospel around the world, and countless Korean believers attend dawn prayer meetings every morning before going to school or work.
Koreans' evangelism methods are very gracious and effective.
Koreans' charity is an example of true love for others.
That is why I cannot help but be very grateful that this book is being published in Korea.
Just as I have found it helpful to look at each section of the Bible with a broader picture of the Bible, I hope my book will also be of some help, however small, to Korean readers who wish to journey through the vast forest that is the Bible.
God has His own plan for the world.
God also has His own plan for each of us in the world.
Read John 3:16 and insert your name into it.
God loves us more than we can imagine.

Terry Hall
