Summary: Power Pack!
Review: Explore the Book by J. Sidlow Baxter is an absolute phenomenon. This book is to be compared with C-4. It is powerful and explosive!! Baxter does a superior job in analyzing the Holy Scriptures and presenting the facts so that the average lay person may fully grasp pertinent spiritual knowledge. I particularly appreciate how Baxter provides the historical account of the Bible. It helps the reader to understand the original scene and setting, which further assists in our relating the Bible to our modern culture. We do not possess the Bible but we possess a translation of the Bible and Baxter delivers a solid and accurate supplement to our social and cultural understanding. Explore the Book is a must read for everyone that is involved in some kind of ministry. From historical analysis to "type teaching", Baxter's writing clearly packs an awesome punch! I highly recommend that every library of Christian literature save an open slot for Explore the Book. Kudos!

Summary: The Best Outline of the Bible
Review: I have not had opportunity to read all of this book as of yet, but it has an excellent coverage of the books of Daniel and Revelation. Mr. Baxter has done his research and clearly understands and explains the order of events leading to and including the time of the end.

Summary: DR. BAXTER GREATEST 20TH CENTURY THEOLOGIAN!
Review: I HAVE READ WITH GREAT BLESSING AND INTEREST EVERTHING DR. BAXTER HAS WIRTTEN FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I HAVE HEARD HIM MINSITER ON MANY OCCASIONS. HIS "EXPLORE THE BOOK" IS THE FINEST OVER VIEW OF SCRIPTURE THAT I HAVE EVER READ. I HAVE READ NEARLY EVERY BOOK IN THAT FIELD. IT IS LIKE DAVID SAID CONCERNING GOLAITHS SWORD "GET IT FOR ME, FOR THERE IS NONE LIKE IT!" MY COPY OF "EXPLORE THE BOOK" WAS GIVEN TO ME UPON MY GRADUDATION FROM THE UNIVERISTY, I HAVE USED IT IN MY PASTORAL MINSISTERY TILL IT IS LITERALLY FALLING TO PIECES. I RECCOMEND THIS BOOK TO ALL MY PASTOR ASSOCIATES AND LAYMEN ALIKE. DR. BAXTER WILL TAKE YOU AS DEEP INTO THE RICHES OF GODS WORD AS ANY WOULD DARE TO GO. WHEN ONE READS ANYTHING BY THIS GREAT MAN OF GOD, ITS LIKE A CAT DROWNING IN CREAM!
