Reviews

[StevevetS]

Basically, it's just a slimmed-down version of The MacArthur Bible Handbook. You get ~70% of the content for ~45% of the cost. Good if you're on a budget; otherwise, just spend the extra money and get the complete handbook.

[Maria Teresa]

Exceptional book for the student of the bible. A must read!

[Andy Febrico Bintoro]

A biblical survey of OT and NT. Its quite useful if you want to know which theology contains in what book. Its also useful to study the background of the each book.

Very helpful and complete. I use it regularly to help me dig deeper into the word of God

This is more of a reference to use as you read your Bible and not a book you will sit down and read from cover to cover at one time.

[Tracy Karol]

I respect MacArthur but disagree with his views on predestination and all five points of Calvinism. I wish I hadn’t purchased this, but at the same time it is good to challenge your views on secondary issues rather than stick one’s head in the sand and/or refuse to fellowship with those who hold different opinions on these theological issues. That said, I have studied Calvinism extensively and my personal view hasn’t changed. There’s no doubt, though, that the author is a very intelligent man with a biblical worldview worth exploring.
