 | Very good reference book Nov 10, 2006 |
| This book is very useful for the average person wanting to dig a little deeper into the Word! | | |  | Why How to Read the Bible Book by Book is a must for students of the Bible Mar 14, 2006 |
I believe that How to Read the Bible Book by Book is a must read for students of the Bible because it guides you through the Bible in simple and kind manner. It will make you want to read the Bible in a fresh and new way. I have been studying the Bible formally for over forty years now and I beleive that any book that will help enhance ones study of the Bible is a must read.
I would highly recommend this book for your reading.
Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart have done an excellent job in opening the Bible to the person who needs to know and get a good overview of the Scriptures.
| | | | Good Biblical Introduction Mar 4, 2006 |
Dr. Fee's presentation of the biblical material is clear, concise, and up to date. He takes the fruits of biblical scholarship and makes them available to the average lay reader, while not losing sight of what the original authors of the material intended. A strong point of the book is the fact that it situates each of the biblical books and the material they contain within the historical horizon of Israels encounter with God and the World.
For the careful reader Dr Fee's material will help define the central importance of the issue of the 'mission to the Gentiles'--which first presents itself in Genesis narrative, particularly when God initiates the covenant with Abraham. God's choice of Israel is the beach head from which the salvation of the world is launched. This fulfillment of God's purpose is dramatized by Israel's encounter with the nations about her and her response to that encounter right up to, and including the New Testament and continues to the present.
This is high drama, indeed, and this book helps the average person to see the drama and, better, their place in it.
Jim Woods | | | | Thanks for your labors, Dr. Fee. Jan 15, 2006 |
| This book is very helpful for gaining a good sense of the context and flow and themes of each book. It will help the average Christian, like me, interpret individual texts within the larger text of which the individual texts are part. After reading Dr. Fee's (and Stuart's) book, one will more confidently apprehend individual passages without tearing them out of their contexts--as, alas(!), all too frequently happens. Buy this book and its compainion volume, "How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth." The only problem with the two books is the lack of an orthodox position on biblical manhood and womanhood. To clear up that issue, get the book edited by Piper and Grudem, "Biblical Manhood and Womanhood," and get anything by Doug Wilson on men and women and marriage. | | | | "The Best" of the Bible handbooks by at least a lightyear! Dec 4, 2005 |
| When I was a boy there was only one Bible handbook that was considered the best: Halley's Bible Handbook. Well, what that book was to my childhood generation, this book by Stuart and Fee is to this generation. Their scholarship is almost "up to the minute" (revised every few years) and is as solid as can be. Especially helpful is the section on each book of the Bible called: "Keys to Understanding" They point out the 2 or 3 things that the reader needs to have in mind as they read the particular book in the Bible. Amazingly simple and helpful. And their section called "A Walk Through" is like a personal guided tour of each book of the Bible. WOW! It is simply THE BEST of all of the Bible handbooks by at least a lightyear. God bless. Mike | | | Write your own review about How To Read The Bible Book By Book
