Explore The Book
Explore the Book: A Basic and Broadly Interpretative Course of Bible Study from Genesis to Revelation
by J. Sidlow Baxter
This six-volume set provides a helpful introduction and overview to the individual books of the Bible. The book of Acts, for example is covered in 43 pages, Colossians in just 14. This is an excellent resource for gaining a broad perspective of a book, as well as helpful details such as the historical background in which a book was written.
The back cover contains this evaluation:
Warren Wiersbe, Editor, Youth for Christ Magazine: “I consider these six volumes the finest single set for personal Bible study that I have ever seen in my life. . . . Dr. Baxter is one of the finest living Bible teachers . . . his series on Ephesians . . . was the turning point of my own spiritual ministry. . . . I have told more than one pastor that if I had to get rid of every set in my library and keep just one, that one set would be Explore The Book. It has been a tremendous help to me in my own Bible teaching with teen-agers and it was also a big help to me in my ministry as a pastor.”
