Guide to Bible Study

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (II Tim 2:15)

This book was written in order to help those studying the Bible understand the proper divisions of the books of the Bible so that they could more easily understand the context and purposes for the writing of each book. The chapters serve as introductions to each section of Scripture and as short introductions to each book of the Bible. The chapters are intentionally brief, in order that the average Bible reader can easily read, understand, and digest the information contained.

NOTE: This book is now available in a fully re-formatted PDF file, searchable and clickable, here.
