Is reading the Bible the same as studying it?
How do I read with understanding?
The Bible is the best-selling book of all time, yet many people struggle to make sense of it--or even to pick it up at all. Bogged down by genealogies, and thees and thous, many well-meaning Christians just can't quite make it beyond a quick glance at Psalms and Proverbs.
But with the right approach to Bible study, you'll discover that the very Book that once seemed intimidating and irrelevant is actually full of life-changing wisdom and powerful stories. In Beyond Psalms and Proverbs Richard Coffen explores aspects of Bible study that will transform your reading of Scripture. Sharing insights into the world of the Bible writers, Coffen reveals the ancient cultures and languages that help explain the meaning and significance of God's Word. With fascinating examples and findings, this book will revolutionize your understanding and application of the Holy Bible.
