Is this any good?

Well i don't know, is it? Why don't you download it in Anna's Archive and find out?

Asimov actually read the entire bible and wrote this to clearly and simply tell what it says. -- It's better than Cliffsnotes, that's for sure.

His eagerness to learn about any and every topic AND use said topics to develop his stories is what makes him my favorite author, and is an aspect of him i try to emulate. His books about the greeks, romans and egyptians are very good as well

It's decent, gives you some historical context and hebrew language stuff that's useful. His atheism is evident and I assume there must be a less cynical and more informative one out there you could read, but this works in a pinch.

that actually sounds useful, and I don't even really care for Asimov.
I've tried reading the Bible, and it is not easy.

Unironically good. "Asimov" wrote a giant useful guide to the bible and managed to remain neutral throughout. My dad is a devote Catholic and really sticks to his lane of books to read, but he was really impressed with this book.

Asimov amuses me. I feel like his non-fiction works are generally far better than the fiction he's mostly famous for.

>>25324910
What other non fiction work of his is good?

He was an atheist, after all.

True, but even atheists can have an axe to grind re: religion.
