What has been said about The Bible Unpacked
Very helpful for Bible study leaders and preachers
“The author has done a great job in collecting and arranging texts under doctrinal and practical headings. It would be very helpful for Bible Study leaders and preachers. I could see myself using it, even when I was preaching on a passage.”
The Rt Rev. Dr Paul Barnett
(Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Sydney)
It faithfully reflects the “big picture”
“This is a book* that will be of great assistance to those who seek to identify the major themes of the biblical story. It faithfully reflects the “big picture” which emerges from the biblical narrative, providing a helpful guide to interpretation and a solid foundation for thinking and living Christianly.”
* Intermediate Edition.
Brian V. Hill
(Emeritus Professor of Education, Murdoch University, Western Australia)
Grew in relationship with each other
“Our Church fellowship group enjoyed working through the Bible Unpacked study notes. Each term we decided to continue on, and completed the whole series (being left wanting more). We would take turns reading aloud the verses and then tackle the excellent questions. We grew in knowledge through exploring Scripture verses in a topical way and also grew in relationship with each other.”
Andrew and Vivian Scott
