You own a Bible. Now learn to study it for yourself.
Most Christians have read the Bible. Far fewer have ever been shown how to study it - and the books that promise to teach them are often so heavy with scholarship that the ordinary believer gives up before chapter two.
Rightly Dividing the Word is different. Written in plain, kitchen-table language for the everyday Christian, it puts the Book back into your own hands. No Greek. No Hebrew. No seminary degree. Just an open Bible, an honest heart, and a clear method anyone can learn.
In fourteen short chapters you will discover:
- How to come to the Scriptures with the heart that opens them
- Why we don't worship by the Old Testament - and how to rightly divide the Patriarchal, Mosaic, and Christian ages
- How to keep every verse in its context and never be fooled by a proof-text again
- How God authorizes what we believe and practice - by command, approved example, and necessary inference
- What the silence of the Scriptures does and does not permit
- How to study a word, study a subject, and gather the whole counsel of God before drawing a conclusion
- Three complete Bible studies worked from start to finish, so you can see the method in action
- How to take what you've learned and teach others, one soul at a time
Whether you are a new convert, a lifelong member, or a Bible-class teacher looking for plain material to put in willing hands, this book will give you the confidence to open the Scriptures and find the truth for yourself - standing not on the opinions of men, but on the word of God.
"The God who wrote it meant for you to understand it."
