Summary: God's ways are mysterious; his Word isn't meant to be. Why do even the sincerest students of God's Word sometimes find it dry or confusing? Too often, Robertson McQuilkin suggests, it's because they don't know how to read it. In his classic introduction to Bible study, McQuilkin shows everyday believers how to navigate the Bible's genres and plumb its thought structures with accuracy, experiencing afresh living encounters with the inspired Word. Newly revised and updated, Understanding and Applying the Bible also examines the most common errors in Bible reading. In the end, McQuilkin maintains Scripture can be understood by anyone, simply by following a set of straightforward and time-tested principles. So come, dive deeply into God's Word. - Back cover.
