The Word of God has a breadth that few of us manage to grasp, a depth that we rarely plumb. John Stott, the author, analyzes the geography, history, theology, authority, and interpretation of the Scriptures. The purpose is to 'present the scope in which God once revealed himself and now offers Christ, so that we may better grasp for ourselves and share with others the glorious fullness of Jesus Christ himself.'
This book answers new believers' questions: Who wrote the Bible, when, where, and why? What is its message? How should it be read and interpreted? At the same time, it helps Christians with several years of experience deepen their reading and understanding of the Scriptures so that they can grow and mature in the Christian life.
How to Understand the Bible includes a study guide for personal or small group use.
