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.

"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!

I've used this book on many occasion in preparing lessons...it's very helpful. If you're going to start a Christian library, this should be on top of your list.

This book is a great study guide, covering Genesis to Revelation, Using biblical verses to back up every statment, Very hard to read cover to cover, but a great help in the study of the bible. He does a great job in presenting his interpritation and explaining why, He also paid attention in history class,he must have a great library

One of the best outlines of Old and New Testaments as well as one the most readable and well-explained outlines of the basic Bible doctrines. An excellent tool for both the new Christian and teachers. If you want an excellent source for understanding what you believe and why you believe it, This is it!

This book is a must-have for evangelical teachers, preachers, and any serious student of God's holy word. Bro. Wilmington presents the scriptures clearly and concisely in chronological order, making the history of God's people from the garden to the church come alive!

This is a textbook to be sure, with careful exegesis of scripture and exposition of Christian doctrine, but is as readable as your favorite novel. The outlines are extremely clear, with themes, key verses and personalities given for each book.

Bro. Wilmington presents one of the most complete, concise, and easily understood outlines of end-time prophecy and the book of Revelation I have ever seen.

Whether you are preparing Sunday School lessons, preaching to the saints, or studying God's magnificent word for your own personal edification, this book should be a part of your library.

I teach one course in New Testament & another in Old Testament. This book is the best one volume commentary I've ever come across. I highly recommend it.

I just love my Willmington's Guide to the Bible! I have taught verse-by-verse studies for about 25 years and I always begin my look at a book or passage with this book. It is not the ONLY book I use, nor does it untangle some of the knotty passages entirely. But it is very good at giving you ideas for a framework for a passage. It gives good basic historical background - with some really surprising tidbits as well. There are some very helpful illustrations tucked into passages throughout. I have used many of the charts and outlines to clarify the overview for my students. I have also used the sections that cover the major doctrines of the Christian faith. Sometimes, I see a passage differently than Willmington does, but that's what my other books, my mind and the indwelling Holy Spirit are for! I can heartily recommend it as a great book to help as you study or teach!

My only problem with it? My son "stole" mine when he came home from college, because he's teaching some Bible studies! : ) I have to buy a new one...

I have found it extremely helpful espically in the Faith Bible Institute Class that I have been taking. I have found very few differences in opinion between Dr. Willmington and myself. It does do a wonderful job in explaining the scriptures. Dr. Willmington's views are helpful, but remember that when it comes to scripture to derive your own conclusions.

that is the one word to describe this book. it has so much info and it is very easy to understand. if you are seeking God, really desiring truth in your life, and really desiring spiritual growth - then this is the book for you!! i would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about the God through His Word!
