God has always commanded His people to be diligent students of His word. Yet Old Covenant Israel neglected that command. And because of their ignorance, they crucified the very Messiah they hoped for. While God, likewise, commands Christians to be disciples, students, precious few of us are diligent students. Too many of us are dependent upon preachers in an unhealthy manner to do all of our Bible study and teaching of others. This study is designed to aid anyone interested in being an independent faithful disciple of God's word. Samuel G. Dawson brings the Bible to life as he makes it relevant for today. Lessons progress from choosing a dependable translation to rules for interpretation to dealing with difficulties in the Bible.

Although written by a serious non-denominational Bible student and teacher of nearly 40 years, this book is not for the professional Bible scholar or theologian. It is for the independent Bible student who would like to know more of the Bible's teaching without a denominational slant or dependence on a professional. In recent years, the availability of helpful reference works has exploded, as have resources on the Internet. As modern Bibles and the religious world are becoming more premillenial and Calvanistic, the emphasize on online easy-to-use Bible aids helps today's student remain true to God's word-for-word inspired text. You can take advantage of these new opportunities for yourself. Samuel G. Dawson brings the Bible to life as he makes it relevant for today. Lessons progress from examining basic attitudes toward the Bible to choosing a dependable translation to rules for interpretation to dealing with difficulties in the Bible. Not only will you learn how to study the Bible, but you'll also come away with good, basic Bible knowledge from all the examples given in the book. While this book is an extension of the popular cassette album on how to study the Bible, it contains lots of new material. It begins with a new chapter on "Jesus' Call for Disciples" that demonstrates what it means to be a true disciple or student of God's word. Another chapter explores "The Importance of the Old Testament to New Testament Christians," while it exposes many of our unfounded prejudices against the Old Covenant. A great help is a list of "Old Testament Passages Quoted in the New Testament," which points us to the inspired commentary on those prophetic verses. Also, "The Outline of the Bible" provides a valuable tool for grasping the overall view and context of the Bible and is a fascinating read in itself. |
