This is not a workbook. I

This book is not a workbook. It gives a sentence describing what the scriptures are about and then gives you Bible verses to look up. There are no thought provoking questions, nothing that would consider this a workbook. I am very disappointed!

Thorough and thoughtful - highly recommended

An excellent study guide on the topics covered. This is however a WORK-book; if you like to be spoon fed your theology, this book may not be to your liking. To use it, you will need your bible, a notepad, and some time, but it's well worth the effort. In the end, I not only learned about the material explicitly covered, but I think I also improved my bible study habits.On each of the topics covered, the book leads you through the pertinent sections of the bible (by references - you have to look them up yourself), comparing scripture with scripture. Mr. Zeolla shows great restraint in simply laying out the evidence and letting the bible speak for its self.On several topics he also presents the arguments for some, umm, 'heterodox' positions, and does so fairly enough that we can see how someone could reach such (incorrect) conclusions, how we know they are wrong, and how we can avoid making such mistakes our selves. This is much more helpful than simply giving the orthodox position and pointing out that others are wrong.I originally got this book to use an early chapter ("Scripture on Scripture") to prepare for a small group study on the bible, and was not disappointed. It was several months later that I got around to working through the rest of the book, and was impressed by the presentation. I especially appreciate the two-chapter study on the Trinity, a doctrine to which I must admit I had never previously paid enough attention.

Scripture Study Review

Workbook is great for getting good understanding of different topics found in the Bible. Most of the basic doctrines covered in detail. The studies on the Trinity and baptism were extremely good. Book is well worth the money.
