How to Read the Bible Like a Seminary Professor: A Practical and Entertaining Exploration of the World's Most Famous Book
Many people admire and even revere the Bible, but they simply do
not understand what they read, much less how to study
Scripture. Yet they wish they could. In this insightful and
alternately amusing guide, Professor Mark Yarbrough shows how easy
and gratifying it is to unlock the hidden truths of God's Word and
to discover a world where reading the Bible doesn't just satisfy
our curiosity, but changes our life.
To do this, the reader will step into the seminary classroom and
observe the practical principles-the tricks of the trade-for
becoming a more effective student of the Bible. But Yarbrough has
made sure that his writing style and general approach will be
appealing to both academic students and those involved in lay-level
Bible study.
Real life is whacky and in-your-face. Studying Scripture should be
too.
