Thinking Clearly about Getting the Most from Your Bible

This volume sets out guidelines for Christians to take full advantage of their Bible reading.

It covers the basics of how to read the Bible: how to approach it, what to look for, what questions to ask, what to expect, and where to turn to for guidance. The book starts by considering the authority of the Bible, and the part that it has played in the author's own life.

Eddie Gibbs considers the different categories of book and how the reader should approach each one, showing for instance how to put oneself imaginatively into the narrative passages and how to look at the Gospels from a variety of perspectives.

He gives guidance on how to tackle the theological sections and the prophets, and how to avoid importing modern misconceptions into the readings. The book shares the characteristics of the "Thinking Clearly" series, featuring summaries at the start of each chapter and marginal notes, as well as frequent subheadings.
