What’s New in the Third Edition?

Why This Workbook?

“Not just a book—it’s a boot camp for biblical thinking.”

Perfect For:

Available in:

“Sanctify them in Your truth; Your word is truth.” (John 17:17) – This workbook helps you live it.”


    The doctrinal and ethical teachings of the Bible as presented in this book encompass an overall way of viewing the world that differs greatly from the prevailing secular worldview. It is hoped this book will enable the reader to not only understand this Biblical worldview but also why it is true and thus to come to trust in it, and then to be prepared to defend this Biblical worldview before an unbelieving world (Luke 24:27,45; Acts 14:14-18; 17:22-31).

    Many changes have been made for this Third Edition of this book. But the total number of forty Scripture Studies remains the same. This is a large book (498 pages in hardcopy formats), but if you take the time to work through it, you will be well-versed in the entirety of the Biblical worldview (2Tim 2:15; 3:16f). Yet it is just $3.99 in Kindle. Similar low prices for other formats.

Preface

      This book contains forty “Scripture Studies.” Each study focuses on one general area of study. These studies enable individuals or groups to do in-depth, topical studies of the Bible. They are also invaluable to the Bible study teacher in preparing lessons and for Christians wanting to better understand the Christian faith and to be prepared to defend it before an unbelieving world (1Peter 3:15; 2Peter 3:17f).

      The title of this book reflects its purpose. The word “Scripture” refers to the 66 books comprising the Bible.

      The word “Workbook” refers to the reader needing to not just read this book but to interact with it. For the most part, only Scripture references are given, not the full verses. This means the reader will need to look up each verse in the Bible.

      As you do so, you are encouraged to read not just that verse but the wider context, considering its import, and if this book is referencing the verse in question in a proper manner. This will teach you how to find verses in the Bible and to consider their meanings (Neh 8:8; Acts 8:30f; 17:2f,10-12; 28:23).

      The doctrinal and ethical teachings of the Bible as presented in this book encompass an overall way of viewing the world that differs greatly from the prevailing secular worldview. It is hoped this book will enable the reader to not only understand this Biblical worldview but also why it is true and thus to come to trust in it, and then to be prepared to defend this Biblical worldview before an unbelieving world (Luke 24:27,45; Acts 1:14-18; 17:22-31).
