What book or books of the Bible would you recommend for a stranger to read to give them a quick introduction to Christianity?
You might meet such a person in an elevator, or at the mall, or walking in the park, or crossing the street, or in a parking lot, or even on the Internet, etc. You mention your Christian faith, or the person sees your Christian lapel pin, or reads the Bible quote on your T-shirt or on your bumper sticker, etc.
The person has never read the Bible, and wants to know what parts of it to read for a relatively quick introduction ... let's say no more than a few books. This would be the book or books of the Bible — without footnotes etc — and you should assume the person will read alone at home, without any help from Christians, the Internet, etc. If you only have a favorite Bible verse, then please mention it.
I had heard of a recommendation many years ago, which I have been telling people, but I have heard different ones over the years, and I wonder if I should change.
Thanks.
