Bible Explorer's Guide: How to Understand and Interpret the Bible

By John Phillips

Book Overview

Serious study of the Bible can be a daunting task for any Christian. The desire to explore God's Word is the beginning of the process. Bible explorers also need proper tools and an experienced guide to lead the adventure through the Scriptures.

There is no better guide for this exploration than one who has spent his life leading people at every level of training on journeys into the wonders of Scripture. John Phillips provides the proper tools as well as the wise, sensible guidance to help any believer dig into the Scriptures and search out their meaning and significance. In the Bible Explorer's Guide, Dr. Phillips provides the ground rules for handling God's Word-including the "Golden Rule" for studying Scripture; symbols in the Bible's discussion of covenants and dispensations; and interpreting types, parables, and prophecy. It also offers practical "maps" and resources to aid in a discovery study-a survey of Scripture, a harmony of the Gospels, and summaries of Bible history and names.

If you are looking for a serious but understandable guide to studying the Bible, look no further. The Bible Explorer's Guide is your handbook.

Awesome Christian Reference Book!

This Bible Explorers Guide is one of the best out there (along with Dr Halley's Bible Handbook) and I recommend all Christians keep a copy in their personal library. Even though you may know a lot about the Bible already, you will never be able to fully comprehend all the deep messages within its pages. However, this book will enable you to reach deeper into the messages God wants us all to understand and apply to our lives. Trust me, this book is worth the money!!!

A Must Have

This book is a must have if you want to interpret the Bible correctly. John Phillips is a genius of the Bible. This book is separated into two parts. The first part is Hermeneutics and the other is called Helps. Bro. Phillips writes about how to interpret the Parables, Prophecy, and Types. He also writes about the Symbols and Numbers used in the Bible. What can I say; it is a must have for every believer is the Lord Jesus.I recommend this book highly.
