Making The Bible Your Book [Hardcover]

Making the Bible Your Book provides an informative guide to the people, places, events, and content of the books of Bible. It asks the fundamental questions as one approaches the study of scripture: who? what? where? when? and why? It also provides initial guidance on how to interpret the Bible. The author does not assume that the reader has a great deal of knowledge about the Bible, and therefore the book is an excellent starting resource for basic knowledge. It can assist the beginning Bible student as well as those who need to refresh their knowledge and understanding. It is an ideal resource for individuals, study groups, seminarians, and even pastors and priests who desire to address the problem of biblical illiteracy in their churches. What I like best about Duncan's books is that they are theologically balanced, generous to alternative viewpoints, and practical. Whether it is a basic introduction to theology or outlining the principles of good biblical interpretation, Duncan always keeps his audience in mind and meets them with useful insights. His work is very useable for church and adult study groups. --Thomas F.
