Short, accessible, and easy-to-understand, 60 Second Scholar books distill key insights of biblical scholars for the average reader. In this series, author Michael Heiser provides tips for unlocking the main teachings of the Bible.
Bible doctrine gets a bad rap. It’s anything but boring. The Bible is to doctrine what a recipe is to the delicious results. What satisfies is the outcome—the mouth-watering morsel—not the lifeless list of ingredients.
If all you know of Scripture is Bible characters and stories, you’re missing its life-changing teachings. The crucifixion was an event. What it means is doctrine. In Brief Insights on Mastering Bible Doctrine, Michael S. Heiser shows readers how to think carefully, analytically—theologically—about what the Bible says.
He also covers the spectrum of Christian doctrine, succinctly drawing meaning from the Bible independent of denominational traditions.
The Bible is the most important book in history. It’s also one of the most misunderstood. Studying Scripture involves much more than reading. Serious Bible study can be a daunting task. It takes effort and skill.
The Bible was put together over 2000 years ago. There are serious obstacles to grasping its meaning and message. Wouldn’t it be great to have a seasoned Bible scholar by your side to help? Now you can. In Brief Insights on Mastering Bible Study, biblical scholar Michael S. Heiser is the guide by your side, providing easy-to-read lessons and truisms for grasping God’s Word.
Adept Bible study isn’t about a checklist of tasks. It’s about using the right tools, thinking carefully, and sticking to it. You don’t need to be a scholar to understand the Bible. You just need some advice from one along the way.
The Bible was written for us—but not to us. We’re not part of the ancient world that informed its writers. We’re strangers to their ideas, experiences, and worldview. Because we’re cultural and historical outsiders, what we read in the Bible can often be perplexing and impenetrable.
But take heart. Clear comprehension of what’s in the Bible isn’t a lost cause. In this 60 Second Scholar book, biblical scholar Michael S. Heiser reveals the most indispensable insights for understanding the Bible.
Brief Insights on Mastering the Bible presents readers with a straightforward but audacious proposition: Grasping these insights will mean comprehending Scripture more clearly than you ever have before. You don’t need to time travel to understand Scripture, but you do need directions.
Michael S. Heiser (PhD, University of Wisconsin-Madison) is scholar-in-residence at Logos Bible Software. An adjunct professor at a couple of seminaries, he’s written numerous articles and books, including The Unseen Realm and I Dare You Not to Bore Me with the Bible.
