Synopsis of the Books of the Bible is a book by John Nelson Darby, first published 1857–1862. This concise, book-by-book overview sets out Darby’s aim to help readers grasp the scope, connection and intended message of each biblical book. Rather than a detailed verse-by-verse commentary, the work offers introductions, themes and structural summaries that guide private study, Bible reading plans and sermon preparation. Its clear chapter synopses make it useful as a companion for readers seeking a reliable Bible summary, historical background, and an organised pathway through both Old and New Testament writings. Rooted in the theological outlook of the Plymouth Brethren, the Synopsis reflects Darby’s emphasis on literal reading and the unfolding plan of Scripture across dispensations. The work has influenced evangelical study aids and remains popular with those researching dispensational perspectives, prophetic literature and the historical development of modern Bible study tools.
