Summary: Forced to read this...now my revenge!
Review: I had to read this as a textbook for the Southern Baptist Seminary Extension. You'd think that a Southern Baptist course on Hermeneutics would choose a book that adhered to a 6 days of creation model. You'd be wrong. This book also left a bad replacement theology taste in my mouth. Mr. Stott is thoroughly British...his overuse of the word "Palestine" proved that. I recently saw a copy of the Hardback with color photos...I think I'd rather have bought that one. For an alternative, Chuck Missler's "Learn the Bible in 24 Hours" is a better choice.

Summary: Enlightening overview
Review: If you can overlook the large picture of Charles Darwin on page 43, and perhaps an unnecessary attempt to accomodate some of Darwin's theories, you will find this to be a first-rate overview of the Bible, its message, and its proper interpretation and application.

Summary: excellent overview of how to study the Bible
Review: This is a very good basic overview of the right (Biblical) attitude to the Bible, how and when the study it and understand it. It is especially good in helping the reader to see the principles of natural, original and general meaning, and has some useful geographical stuff as well. Definitely a worthwhile introduction to the topic, with challenges and incentives to read the Bible, while avoiding legalism.
