The Handbook to Bible Study: With a Guide to the Scofield Study System

by Paul S. Karleen

Book Overview

Karleen first provides an overview of the Bible, explaining how its language and literary qualities work to reveal the message of God. Then, in clear, easy-to-understand language, he shows how to use the powerful tools of modern biblical scholarship--methods drawn from areas such as the history of languages, the understanding of written texts, and studies in how meaning is communicated--to unlock the unifying themes and vast interconnections of the Bible. He also collects the basic set of reference tools that readers need to develop their understanding of the Bible's message. Intended as a companion to the Scofield Bible, the Handbook used in combination with any Bible will enable you to go further than ever before in exploring the text of the Bible and receiving the Word of God.
