Exploring the Scriptures: An Expository Commentary

By John Phillips

Book Overview

Effective Bible study begins with a clear understanding of the Bible as an inspired whole instead of sixty-six disjointed books. Exploring the Scriptures gives the serious student a panoramic view of God's Word that provides a firm foundation for more detailed study of books, passages, and themes of the Bible.

Each book of Scripture is presented through a brief introduction, a concise outline, and a comprehensive summary of the book's content. Included also are special chapters dealing with the major divisions of Scripture and thirty-five maps and charts to help with visualization of important Bible content.

"This series has features that will make it a favorite of Bible students: detailed alliterative outline; notes about the authorship; straightforward interpretation of the text; practical application."

It's just what is says.. exploring the scriptures!

This is an excellent book. This book gives enough background of each book of the bible to be able to understand the basic concepts, but at the same time doesn't overload you with detail. It also sparked new study subjects for me that I hadn't thought of before. I have really enjoyed this book.

A concise and complete picture of each book of the Bible

Phillips comments are the best preparation for studying any book of the Bible I have found. His summary and overall picture of each book will make it so easy to study. The outlines truly outline the book to make it easy to study and to teach. There is a wealth of quotes and references from others that add great insight to the teaching. Reading his chapter on any book of the Bible you are going to study is a must. You will be glad you did. I have been unusually blessed and helped by this book.
