5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference, March 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Willmington's Guide to the Bible (Hardcover)

This huge book very carefully covers the Bible in a modified outline form (for lack of a better description). Although I have not read it as a book, I have been using it as a reference (it is designed to be used along with a Bible). Considering the vast quantity of information on a wide variety of Bible subjects, I believe it is a good investment for anyone who is serious about learning more about the Bible.

This review is from: Willmington's Guide to the Bible (Hardcover)

"Guide to the Bible" is an excellent resource for the pastor or teacher preparing a sermon or Bible study lesson!

The book contains excellent outlines of each book in the Bible by describing unique features, time written, and main events. As if these were not enough, Willmington also includes doctrinal summaries of several Christian themes, including: the Trinity, man, sin, salvation, angels, the Bible, prophecy, and the church.

A highly recommended title, the "Guide to the Bible" will prove invaluable for anyone who wishes to know more about the Bible.

Read and enjoy!
