One Book Rightly Divided [Hardcover]

Douglas D. Stauffer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 19, 2000

One Book Rightly Divided tackles one of the most pressing thelogical debates of our time - how to properly interpret the scriptures. Unlike most hermeneutical works, this book empowers the student by presenting the Bible's own internal method of self-interpretation.

The teaching of right division is not a new concept designed by the author, but rather the scriptural mandate of God.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (II Timothy 2:15)

By allowing the Bible to interpret itself, alleged contradictions and cultic heresies lose their power to confuse. Likewise, difficult passages (the one evaded in the commentaries) are suddenly reconcilable by rightly dividing the word of truth.

Unique in its versatility, One Book Rightly Divided serves as a Christian's study guide, a Bible college textbook, or a pastor's homiletical aid. The reader will be helped by the many illuminating charts and the absence of technical language.

This volume will enhance the Christian's personal walk with God by providing him with the biblical key to Bible study.

About the Author

Dr. Douglas D. Stauffer was born in Hunstville, Alabama. He was saved at the age of twenty while a member of the Air Force, stationed in Florida. Upon his honorable discharge, he was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal for meritorious service and returned to his home in Pennsylvania.

After graduating from The Pennsylvania State University with a B.S. in Accounting, he began attending Bible college. The Lord dealt with him about preaching during his first semester; whereupon, he dedicated himself to preaching in rescue missions, juvenile detention centers, nursing homes, jails and prisons. In addition, he had a radio broadcast three times a week. He graduated with a B.A. in Bible and was ordained.

The year following Bible college, Dr. Stauffer passed all parts of the CPA exam. He then worked as Controller of several organizations. Later, he gave up his work as Chief Financial Officer of a multi-million dollar company along with managing his own CPA firm when God began dealing with him about going full-time in the ministry. Since that time, he has earned his Th.M. in Bible and Ph.D. in Religion.

Dr. Stauffer currently serves as president of Victory Bible Institute and Theological Seminary in Millbrook, Alabama; president of Faith Rescue Mission in Montgomery, Alabama; and is on the pastoral staff of Victory Baptist Church.

5.0 out of 5 stars Proof God uses man to reveal Himself, May 16, 2000

By 

Timothy L. Childress (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: One Book Rightly Divided (Hardcover)

As a dedicated Bible reader, I must say that Dr. Stauffer has helped raise the fog from my eyes. Any person that studies the Bible can tell you that if you apply every verse (by itself) to your life, you will be schizophrenic in a sense. I have discovered now, what parts of the Bible apply to me today. Dr. Stauffer does not reduce the importance of any verse of the Bible, but merely clarifies which of the gospels apply to modern man. I encourage any person to study this book. I would nearly say that if they did not realize what I have realized, I would give them a refund myself. God has clearly used Dr. Stauffer by blessing him with this knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN OUTSTANDING BOOK!, October 7, 2000

By 

DENNIS B SPACKMAN (Auckland, 1003 New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: One Book Rightly Divided (Hardcover)

"One Book Rightly Divided" by Douglas Stauffer is outstanding in every sense. The layout, print, diagrams and cover are impeccable. The book feels good, and is easy to read and handle. However, it is the contents and the text that lift "One Book Rightly Divided" into a class of its own - light-years ahead of any similar work.

This is the quintessential book on "right division" and dispensationalism. Every Pastor, preacher, minister and Bible College lecturer NEEDS this book. Sadly, much of the material in its pages will be unknown to those who are entrusted with "feeding the flock" and teaching the word. However, "One Book Rightly Divided" will ensure that ignorance or lack of understanding of "right division" are no longer excusable for the Christian, be he teacher, pupil or just and ordinary church member.

Dr Stauffer gently and patiently takes the reader on a Bible "journey" that progressively builds an understanding of hitherto much-neglected Bible doctrine. At the end of the journey, the reader can only step back and and say "What a wonderful God we have, what an awesome Bible He has preserved for us - and thank you Dr Stauffer for taking me on such an exciting journey."

Dr Dennis Spackman Medical Practitioner, church founder, Bible teacher. Auckland, New Zealand

This review is from: One Book Rightly Divided (Hardcover)

This book guides the reader through the Bible, showing how the books of the Bible apply (the author calls it "whose mail are you reading") to different groups. Much is devoted to why and how Paul is the messenger to the "gentiles". Scripture references back up his assertions. I recommend this book.
