5.0 out of 5 stars Do you want to understand the Bible?, February 27, 2007

This review is from: Jensen's Survey of the Old Testament (Hardcover)

Then buy this book! I've had this book (and Jensen's Survey of the New Testament) for over 15 years. I have used them both to help guide me in my study of dozens of Bible books, and they have been a huge help in my spiritual growth. I love them so much I am now going through the Gospel of John with my teenage boys, using Jensen's New Testament book as a guide. Both the boys and I are loving it. In fact, I ordered them each their own copy to help them start their own Christian libraries.

In your study of a Bible book, Jensen will guide you first through an overview of the entire book so you can see the big picture, of the book itself, and of the book's place in the entire Bible. This has been very helpful in demystifying the Old Testament for me. Then he takes you through several main topics within the book, so you can focus on the details. He also has very insightful ideas for application and further study.

I give it my highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book I ALWAYS go to!, September 14, 2010

This review is from: Jensen's Survey of the Old and New Testament (2 Books) (Hardcover)

Every single time I do bible study, I pull out this book. The man was brilliant and knew inductive bible study like the back of his hand. This book is NOT recommended for people who like "warm and fuzzy" bible studies or need a ton of instruction, as it is set out with the premise that you understand observation, interpretation, and application. I would recommend his book "Independent Bible Study" FIRST, so that you can understand how to do inductive bible study. The book is really not a study, as much as a guide pointing you to places in the Word that help you discover truths for yourself. An EXCELLENT resource for serious students of the Word!
