The book is a comprehensive guide to understanding the Bible and provides readers with a set of rules and methods for studying the scriptures. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of Bible study. The author begins by outlining the importance of studying the Bible and provides readers with a brief history of the scriptures. He then goes on to discuss the various translations of the Bible and provides tips on how to choose the best translation for one's needs. Pierson also covers the different genres of the Bible, including poetry, prophecy, and history, and provides readers with guidance on how to interpret each type of writing. He also discusses the importance of understanding the cultural and historical context of the Bible and provides readers with tools for doing so. Throughout the book, Pierson emphasizes the importance of prayer and meditation in Bible study and provides readers with practical advice on how to incorporate these practices into their study routine. He also encourages readers to approach the Bible with an open mind and a willingness to learn, rather than simply seeking to confirm preconceived notions or beliefs.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Thou hast magnified Thy Word above all Thy name. Psalm cxxxviii:2. This saying of the Psalmist may primarily refer to some specific word of God, some promise, like that recorded about the future of David sown house (2 Samuel viiiii, 19) ;but the larger truth it contains and conveys is capable of so much wider scope and broader application that it may vell be said to include the whole body of Holy Scripture. Calvin translates: Thou hast magnified Thy name, above all things, by Thy Word; and Luther, Thou hast made Thy Name glorious, above all, through Thy Word. But, with Hengstenberg, the majority of the best Bible students favor substantially the common rendering: A bove all Thy Name, thou hast made glorious Thy Word meaning that, beyond all works of Creation and Providence, or other means whereby God has made Himself known, He has exalted His written Word. To those to whom it is addressed, it has power to convict and convert, sanctify and edify; but it has even a higher power and province: it is the mirror of its A uthor; meant, first of all, to reveal, ufi Veil, magnify and glorify Him from whom it originally went forth. This high tribute found expression when as yet there was only the Written Word. Without doubt the Living Word is a fuller unveiling of God sinmost self. In the incarnation, the Word was made flesh and dwelt among men, as a living Presence. In the Person of His Son, the Logos, the Word I ncarnate, the Father made Himself known as never before, with new clearness and fulness of revelation. Yet it still remains true that, in the Inspired Scriptures, He has glorified His own Name, or nature: revealing His mind, heart, will His whole character and, especially, His gracious attitude toward sinners; and, in such manner and measure, as to make all other revelations of Himself in the creation of the material universe and the control of human history
