A Book-by-Book Exploration of God's Word
By John MacArthur

The MacArthur Bible Handbook is a thorough and reliable book-by-book survey of the Bible, complete with charts, graphs, and illustrations from today's leading expository teacher.

This unique and valuable reference tool offers biblical teaching in an easily accessible and understandable format. As you become more familiar with each book of the Bible, its historical context, and its place in Scripture, you will be better equipped to experience the powerful truth of God's Word.

In each Bible book you will learn:

• The meaning of the Bible book's name

• Key people in the book
• Historical and theological themes raised throughout the book
• Its contribution to the Bible as a whole
• Significant dimensions of God's character illustrated in the book
• How Christ can be found in the book
• The most noteworthy words

Grasping the context of a Bible passage can open it up to wider, deeper, and richer understanding. John MacArthur helps you to see that each Bible book has a reasonable, logical, inspired flow of thought from beginning to the end. Many of your questions will be answered even before you know what to ask.

Each book-by-book survey also contains these important features:

• Detailed Outline - How the book is structured
• Interpretive Challenges - Explains difficult themes or concepts in the book
• Meanwhile, In Other Parts of the World - The global historical context of the book
• Answers to Tough Questions About the Book
