5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful little resource, September 14, 2003

This review is from: Macarthur's Quick Reference Guide To The Bible (Paperback)

This book is a wonderful little resource, just right for the lay Bible student. The book starts off with four quick chapters on the Bible (Introduction to the Bible, How We Got the Bible, How to Study the Bible, and Chronology of the Bible), and then moves into the meat. Each and every book of the Bible has its own chapter, which contains a quick introduction, author and date, key people in the book, background and setting, key doctrines (very nice), God's character in the book, Christ in the book, key words, a quick overview (really a nice outline of the book), frequently asked questions, and finally a list of questions to consider while reading the book (something to think about).

Overall, I found this book to be a nice resource, just right for the non-Bible scholar, such as myself. I'm glad I got it, and I highly recommend it to all others.

This is a wonderful book for Individuals, Sunday School teachers, and pastors alike. For every book in the Bible it notes: Key passages, Key words, Key settings and places, Key Doctrines taught, Key people, Author and Dates, Frequently asked questions - answered, Meanings of Key Greek words, Quick Overview, and much more. There is also a short study on "How We Got the Bible," and "How to Study the Bible."
