Details

"Living by the Book" by Professor Howard J. Hendrix and his son is devoted to the topic of studying the Bible. The division of the book was made according to three stages of this process - observation, interpretation and application of the Holy Scriptures in the life of Christians. The publication contains graphic illustrations, saturated with an abundance of examples and practical tasks. The main advantages of the book include an engaging presentation of information and a strong emphasis on "life according to the Book". The authors do not urge the reader to limit himself only to the accumulation of biblical knowledge, but indicate the spheres and methods of its application.
The accessibility of the presentation and the absence of complex terminology allows the book to be used not only by students of theological seminaries, pastors and preachers, but also in home groups of all Christians.
