5.0 out of 5 stars In-Depth Bible Study, November 3, 2008

By 

Amy (Missouri) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Revelation (MacArthur Bible Studies) (Paperback)

I love this Bible Study of Revelation by John MacArthur!

This is the first study I have done on my own. I have regularly attended Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) classes for many years and like how in-depth but personal it is. This study from John MacArthur is very much the same.

The study leads you verse by verse through the scripture and gives you enough background to make it truly meaningful. Whether you are new to Bible study or have studied the Bible for years, you will get a lot from this study.

I have never enjoyed Sunday School at church, even as a brand new Christian, because they did not get to the meat of the matter. John MacArthur allows the reader to dig deep into the Bible with this study. After each section of Revelation there are questions to answer that make the study personal for the reader. Then it is followed up by a short reading and a few questions of a complimentary passage of scripture from other books of the Bible, both Old and New Testament.

It has really whet my appetite for more private study. I'm in Sunday School Bible study again right now and I can't wait for it to end so I can pick another MacArthur study to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making Revelation Relevant, June 26, 2008

This review is from: Revelation (MacArthur Bible Studies) (Paperback)

I have a copy of the older version of this study.

I like the way the book is laid out chapter to chapter.

1. It starts with a question to consider.

2. Then it gives text the to read. (It's nice to have it in front of
you).

3. Then it asks questions based on the text.

An added bonus is the explanation of words in the text to the side. It is like having a exhaustive word study included.

I would recommend this study to any believer or unbeliever.
