"How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth" by Gordon D. Fee and Douglas Stuart

Unfortunately, Gerald bailed out before I could recommend the book to him, but it will really, REALLY help you learn to read the Bible differently.
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

It is a really good book.

One point about the author, Dr. Fee, though. I have some lectures and teachings from him, and he teaches that based on hie interpretation of the Bible, it is not "Christian" to pay the tithe. (Christians should give more, but not anything called "tithe", at all) :wink:
Thanks, Brent "RamboPreacher" Hoefling

I recently bought this book at a thrift store because the title sounded good (and it was 50% off the marked price of $1.00) and put it on the headboard of my bed. On reading your recommendation, I decided to actually read it (the osmosis wasn't really working :wink: ) and so far I really like it. Learning the right questions to ask is a giant step toward understanding anything and this book teaches the right questions and how to find them. Thanks for the recommendation. :cool2:

I have red this little book over and over and it sits on my desk constantly. Gordon Fee is one of my favorite authors. I endorse your recommendation highly.

Agreat companion book by Fee and Stuart is " How to read the Bible book by book" It gives a general outline, what to be looking for as you read the chapter.

One of the best books I have read concerning Paul is by Fee; "Paul the Spirit and the People of God" Really changed my understanding of the Local Church as an end time community of believers.

Other books by Fee that I enjoy and use more in study are:

"God's Empowering Presence" & "Pauline Christology"

In my oponion Gordon Fee is a towering voice and a solid anchor in the Pentecostal Academic arena.
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.
