Reviews

[David Campton · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the Christian Basics Bible studies designed to be used with another, more substantial book, in this case "God's Word for Contemporary Christians" written by John Stott. Unlike others in the series it actually stands up to use without any reference to the other book. Unsurprisingly it comes at things from a relatively conservative evangelical background, and doesn't spend too much time on issues of whether the Bible is the word of God, or contains the word of God, much less any other more liberal views of scripture and it's use. I found the closing chapter a less than positive way to finish, with its emphasis on the "wrath" of God towards those who will not listen to his word, and so, if I were using it with a group I might look at the chapters in a slightly different order.
