Summary: A Cure for Confusion
Comment: Known for being one of the great hermeneutical works of our time, Knowing Scripture encompasses all that modern conservative biblical interpretation demands in a pragmatic, clear approach to studying the Bible for oneself. Written for the layman and the theologian, Sproul presents the Bible as God's Word for all men in all times, to be understood in the context of its original meaning and historical setting.

R.C. Sproul is articulate in defining the concept of "lay renewal" in the search for the truth behind "an enigma capable of vastly different interpretations (p. 11)." "Is there any way out of this confusion? Can serious readers find any principles to guide them through the conflicting viewpoints they hear from all sides? These are some of the questions that this book is designed to deal with (p. 12)."

Summary: Short, Gentle, and Very Nice!
Comment: Sproul combines theological insights with his very familar humor in order to teach us some basics in deeper reading of the Bible. Since the Bible is a book that gets deeper as one grows taller, most spiritually "tall" teachers seem to write yet another deep book to daunt the study of scripture. On the contrary, R.C. is an excellent teacher, encourager, and writer who first dispels the fear of studying the Bible. Then he immediately points to the importance of studying the Bible, and does an overview of how to interpret and apply scripture in most biblical way possible. His colorful examples are helpful. I am also thankful for his list of further readings in the last chapter (after reading this book, I felt like buying them all!). In almost all of his books I've read, R.C. seems to struggle in trying to be less scholar-like for the sake of the general audience. But only being human =), he cannot hold back his brilliance; and at times R.C. pushes us to think! But he is gentle and very reasonable. This book is short, but very nice. Thus, for leasure or study in group; for scholars and laymen...I highly recommend this book. Both will learn a lot--if not in content, then in sheer style!

Summary: Filled with inspiration and encouragement for the believer!
Comment: R.C. Sproul does it again in this great book! One is hard pressed to find a more delightful Biblical reference book. Easy for the beginner who doesn't know a lot about the Bible and encouraging for those who have been in the faith for years. A true classic!
