This book is an amalgamation and skillful blending of revelation, spiritual insight, academics, research and refined biblical theology. This work caters for the unbeliever, born again Charismatic, Pentecostal, Evangelical, mainline Religious Traditionalist, student, skeptic and atheist there is something for everyone in this revered and well researched work. This is one of the few books of its kind that blends scholastic wisdom, academic research, and historical actualities with fresh bible based revelation. The author does not bid to coax or cajole you to go with his school of thought neither does he bestow a myopic viewpoint, but uses The Word to explain The Word and balances it with authentic historical facts, substantiated theological facts and leaves you in a place where you can choose either to believe history, astuteness, scripture or academics which are all intermarried in this imposing and revered work. Go through this work, not as a denigrator, but as a student, maintain an open mind and you will just be startled how certain mysteries can be solved so simply through divine wisdom that can still be proved by science, history actualities and adroitly balanced biblical theology. I have also thrown two bonus chapters in this book Chapter 9 that deals with How to Study your Bible in a Transforming Way. The chapter will help you to: Ask the right questions Read the Bible topically & Systematically Maintain an open mind and a receptive spirit Be prayerful and ask for the leading of The Holy Spirit Move in Revelation Knowledge Chapter 10 is the bridge between revelation and scholastic astuteness that will help us in Bringing The Balance.

Every believer has questions about God, the Bible, Jesus, and the purpose and meaning of life. The vexing problem is that so few believers are able to answer even the most basic ones. Without answers, doubt creeps in and the future of the church is in jeopardy. With insight and precision, Geisler and Jimenez address one hundred penetrating questions that the culture asks and Christians must be prepared to answer, including both controversial questions raging in the public sphere and personal questions about family issues, the purpose and meaning of life, and the future of the world. Christians from every walk of life, especially young believers, youth workers, and parents, will treasure this comprehensive resource. Foreword by Josh and Sean McDowell.

You’ve got Bible questions. We’ve got answers. The Bible is full of great truths for our lives . . . and also, if we’re being honest, a lot of mysteries that we don’t understand. You’ve probably wondered about these questions many times. You’d like good answers. Just keep it short and sweet. But where can you turn for reliable guidance? Dr. Michael Rydelink, beloved Moody professor and host of the radio call-in show Open Line, answers the questions that listeners often ask him. Michael addresses questions such as: Why does God allow bad things to happen? Did Noah really fit all the animals of the earth on a boat? Can I lose my salvation? What is the best Bible translation—King James or another? How can you explain the Trinity? Did Jesus really turn water into wine? And much more . . . Though the Bible is full of mysteries, it has no errors. There are good answers to all the perplexing questions. Don’t stay in the dark any longer. Get the answers from an expert and let your confusion turn to understanding.

Living the Questions of the Bible presents questioning as a viable and faithful Christian practice. We may think the Bible is only about getting answers, but the Bible is also a question book, revealing how the life of faith is a quest with and for God. By exploring various passages in the Bible, this book attempts to invite readers into an interrogative spirituality, one in which we learn that even God questions. Faith seeks and keeps on seeking. It may reach understanding, or it may not. Either way, our questions are a way to live the Christian life honestly, faithfully, and doxologically.

Bestselling Authors Tackle Difficult Issues for Believers and Doubters When it comes to the big questions about God--Is he real? Why are Christians so unlike Jesus? Does he really care about me?--Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz don't pretend to have all the answers. But they do know how to wrestle with doubt. They welcome questions, and in these pages they ask some of the most important ones you have about God and the Bible. With candor, insight, and a disarming touch of humor, they provide some answers to these critical questions, yet they leave enough space--and grace--for you to keep wrestling, asking, and seeking Truth. There is no shame in asking--after all, even some of the greatest men and women in the Bible had doubts. Don't let your questions go unanswered. What you find might just change your life.

There has never been another book like the Bible. And there never will be. Only the Word of God is living and enduring (1 Peter 1:23) and is more precious than much pure gold (Psalm 19:10). Only the Bible is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16). Being divinely inspired, the Holy Bible deserves our full attention, reverent study, and diligent application. God has spoken, and His words have been written down, preserved, and translated for our eternal benefit. The Bible answers lifes most important questions, but it also raises questions from many quarters. From the skeptic: Why should I take stories of miracles literally? From pastors: What is the difference between exegesis and eisegesis? From the neophyte: Where is a good place to start reading the Bible? From the merely curious: What is a shekel? Got Questions Ministries has been answering questions about the Bible since 2002. In this book are one hundred of those questions and their Bible-based answers. May you find this volume helpful in understanding the Book, and may you do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who correctly handles the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).
