How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth: Fourth Edition Audiobook

" I'm reading this to summarize weekly for our Sunday school. It's heavy stuff, but very rich for those who really want to understand--not just skim-- Scripture. Best ingested chapter by chapter, a little at a time. "

" This is an excellent text. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It definitely helped me in learning to navigate through the bible better. A really good read. "

" This is a great resource for those who want to get the most they can out their time in reading the Bible. "

" Really boring cause it just spits out information to you. But if your anything like my husband then you would really enjoy it. It gives you a lot of the history as well. "

" This book gave me lots to think about. I really liked the step-by-step instructions for interpreting each type of Bible literature (the law, psalms, parables, etc). I didn't agree with the author regarding the TNIV translation and I still feel like I need more wisdom to determine how much context/time can affect the way I interpret scripture. A helpful book overall that pointed me in the right direction. "

" Please note that there is a mistake in the title of this book. It should read " for all ITS worth" not "it's". The authors explain this in the foreword. This is one of those instances when both forms would actually work but with different meanings. "

" Pretty easy to read book about how to interpret the Bible. By understanding how Jewish poetry was written to knowing what books are history, the authors give us some great tools here. I think new Bible scholars will get a lot of help here. "

" Great-a whole new approach for me to a book I've been reading for years. If only this was taught to high schoolers . . . or maybe it's only now that it sticks with me. "

" A fantastic help in learning how to glean from the Bible and avoid falling into pits of error. "

" Not so much a book, but the sentence "Take it all literally as any form of criticism is blasphemy" fleshed out and repeated for what seems like a thousand tedious, dry, and uninteresting pages. "

" Good introduction to Bible study methods. Egalitarianism, however, is ubiquitous. "

" The most helpful introduction to reading the bible. highly recommended to anyone who wants to understand God's word better "

" The third time I've read this; very good "

" An absolutely INDISPENSABLE manual for reading the Bible. "
