This book contains twenty-two individual 'Scripture Studies.' Each study focuses on one general area of study. These studies enable individuals to do in-depth, topical studies of the Bible. They are also invaluable to the Bible study teacher preparing lessons for Sunday School or a home Bible study. They can be used for group studies as well. The range of topics covered in the different studies is broad, from what the Bible teaches about itself to what the Bible teaches about divorce and remarriage. Included in each study are hundreds of Scripture references so there will be no lack of material from which to begin your studies. So if you're an individual looking for an aid to improve for your own personal Bible studies or a Bible study teacher or home group leader looking for help in preparing lessons, this book will be of great benefit. The sources for the viewpoints promoted in these Scripture Studies are wide and varied. The ideas are taken from commentaries, study Bibles, theology books, books of various kinds, and most importantly, this writer's own personal study of the Scriptures. The sources for the opposing views presented are publications of groups that promote the ideas and personal conversations this writer has had with members of such groups and adherents to the views. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the Scripture references in these studies. But with the thousands of references presented, it is likely that a few 'typos' have crept in. If the reader comes across a reference that does not make 'sense' in the context presented, just go onto the next one. There are always plenty of verses listed for each point. It is my hope and prayer that God uses these Scripture Studies to help the reader to: '... grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen' (2 Peter 3:18).

About the Author
Gary F. Zeolla is the director of Darkness to Light. This ministry addresses Christian theology, defense of the faith, cults, ethics, and many other issues. Research for these topics and Zeolla's own Bible studies led to his Scripture Workbook: For Personal Bible Study and Teaching the Bible. Also addressed is the subject of Bible versions. This research led to Zeolla's book Differences Between Bible Versions and his Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament. Zeolla also directs Fitness for One and All, which is dedicated to helping people attain their health, fitness, and performance goals. His efforts in this area and his love of the Bible led to his book Creationist Diet: Nutrition and God-given Foods According to the Bible.

Note: Reincarnation teaches each person will live many lives, have many deaths, and many judgment (after each death to determine what their state in their next lifetime will be). Resurrection teaches we each have only one life, one death, and one final judgment. Our state in throughout eternity will be determined by that one judgment.
Reincarnation (New Age Movement)
Matthew 11:13f: John the Baptist was Elijah reincarnated.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Thorough and thoughtful - highly recommended,
By
This review is from: Scripture Workbook: For Personal Bible Study and Teaching the Bible (Paperback)
An excellent study guide on the topics covered. This is however a WORK-book; if you like to be spoon fed your theology, this book may not be to your liking. To use it, you will need your bible, a notepad, and some time, but it's well worth the effort. In the end, I not only learned about the material explicitly covered, but I think I also improved my bible study habits.On each of the topics covered, the book leads you through the pertinent sections of the bible (by references - you have to look them up yourself), comparing scripture with scripture. Mr. Zeolla shows great restraint in simply laying out the evidence and letting the bible speak for its self. On several topics he also presents the arguments for some, umm, 'heterodox' positions, and does so fairly enough that we can see how someone could reach such (incorrect) conclusions, how we know they are wrong, and how we can avoid making such mistakes our selves. This is much more helpful than simply giving the orthodox position and pointing out that others are wrong. I originally got this book to use an early chapter ("Scripture on Scripture") to prepare for a small group study on the bible, and was not disappointed. It was several months later that I got around to working through the rest of the book, and was impressed by the presentation. I especially appreciate the two-chapter study on the Trinity, a doctrine to which I must admit I had never previously paid enough attention.

Scripture Study Review,
By Brad (Baton Rouge,LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scripture Workbook: For Personal Bible Study and Teaching the Bible (Paperback)
Workbook is great for getting good understanding of different topics found in the Bible. Most of the basic doctrines covered in detail. The studies on the Trinity and baptism were extremely good. Book is well worth the money.
