The Bible is the most precious treasure possessed by Christians. The Bible is the only book that has saturated all areas of our lives, our literature and our language. The character of its contents is such that its laws are reflected in human society, the content of its history is true, the quality of its poetry is unequaled, and its stories and parables are masterpieces of literature. The Bible is the only book sufficiently concerned with the highest area of life as it and it alone, operates in the realm of the intellectual and the spiritual. The Bible honestly deals with our desires, our ideals, our hopes, motives and conduct. The fabric of our character and the quality of our conduct is determined by our response to the truths of the Bible.
The Bible is the one and only authentic record of God’s Revelation of Himself to man. It is the only book that is profitable for teaching God’s truth; profitable for rebuking those in sin; profitable for correcting those in error; and profitable for guiding all believers in God’s ways. All Scripture teaches Christians what’s right, what’s wrong, how to get right and how to stay right.
The Bible is so crucial to the Christian life that we should not settle for a limited and fragmented knowledge of it. “Briefing the Bible and the Blank Page” seeks to aid remedying this situation and may be described as a bus tour of the Bible and the years between the Testaments.
Have you ever taken a trip to a famous city such as New York, London, or Paris and wondered where should you start? Wanting to make the best of your first trip there you wanted to get an overall picture of what the city had to offer. You may have decided that the best way to do that would be to take a bus tour; one that would give you a panoramic view of the city. After such a tour you would be better able to sit down with a map and plot out those places that would provide you with the best use of your time for your initial visit. Also after having taken that bus tour you may well decide that one visit is simply not enough for you to be able to appreciate all that that city has to offer. Therefore you make plans for additional visits and are able to choose those places within the city that would best meet your needs on subsequent visits.
“Briefing the Bible and the Blank Page” provides that “bus tour” panoramic view of the Bible and the period between the old and new Testaments. Beginning with the Doctrine of the Bible and following with an overall summary of the Old Testament, the 400 years between the Testaments, and an overall summary of the New Testament. The remainder of the book consist of concise introductions and outlines of each of the Books of the Old Testament, a survey of the critical events between the testaments, and summary introductions and outlines of each of the New Testament Books.
It is our prayer that “Briefing the Bible and The Blank Page” will aid you in “growing in grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” as you feast on His Precious Word.
This book is Available at Amazon.com in both paperback and Kindle formats.
