Exploring the Scriptures

This book is an unfolding, panoramic view of the entire Bible. "John Phillips writes with enthusiasm and clarity, . . . cutting through the confusion and heretical dangers associated with Bible interpretation." —Moody Magazine

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."
