Digital Logos Edition
The Essential Bible Companion gives you what it promises: the essentials. The most vital, absolutely indispensable information you need for reading and truly understanding God’s Word. Developed by two world-class Bible scholars and the creator of The Bible in 90 Days curriculum, this unique, easy-to-use reference guide gives you clear, crisp insights into the Bible book by book.
Striking a balance between too little and too much information—between the brief introductions provided in a Bible and the potentially overwhelming detail of a standard reference handbook—this well-designed, extremely helpful volume condenses the most important information in a highly visual, easy-to-understand format. However you use it, this richly informative volume will assist you on your journey toward a well-grounded biblical faith.
“The focus of creation is the establishment and maintenance of order and operation.” (Page 14)
“The Bible is all about connecting with God. Three key words will help us to get the big picture: Presence, Revelation, and Relationship. Everything God does in the Bible shows us that he deeply desires to be in relationship with us. That is why he created us.” (Page 9)
“An important secret must be recognized to understand the book of Job. Job and his friends all believe that he is on trial, but the secret is that it is God’s policies that are on trial. Satan claims that God’s policy of bringing blessing on righteous people is flawed because they will then be motivated by prosperity rather than simply the desire to be righteous. When Job begins to experience suffering, he likewise concludes that God’s policies are flawed if righteous people can be treated so harshly. So the question is established: How should God run the world with justice in mind and still promote true righteousness?” (Page 41)
“Through the plagues and the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt, the theme is constantly repeated: ‘You will know that I am the Lord Your God.’ His presence will result in revelation (you will know) and relationship (your God).” (Page 10)
“But being in the presence of a loved one is only one part of what is essential to a relationship” (Page 9)
For someone who is trying to read the Bible without getting bogged down this is an excellent book. . . . I highly recommend this book for its ease of use, content, price and attractiveness.
