Thomas Schreiner explains the interplay between Christianity and biblical law in this excellent addition to the 40 Questions & Answers series. Schreiner not only coherently answers the tough questions that flow from a discussion about Levitical law, but also engages students in an engaging and clear style.


And then looking at it in a more traditional hermeneutics fashion at different genres, interpreting Psalms, Proverbs, and the Gospels. In the end, looking more broadly at what the Bible tells us about the future, how to lead a Bible study, how to use the Bible in devotions, does the Bible teach we should be healthy and wealthy, and what are some trends in studying the Bible right now. Each one of these 40 questions is answered in seven to twelve pages. There are also discussion questions at the end and a bibliography of suggested resources to pursue the questions more.


There are quizzes and tests that accompany the book that can be used in high schools or Bible colleges. Discussion guides and lessons plans are all free on 40questions.net. People use this book in their biblical interpretation classes at seminary, or they do a Sunday night series with it. It has organically spread because people have found it useful. It has been translated into Spanish. It is one of the more helpful volumes on interpretation available in Spanish. It is in Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, and Kazak.


I try to examine different approaches to Revelation and the millennium. Some do not know there are different views. Some have been taught simplistically about the Old Testament. There are misunderstandings that people have that we hopefully correct. I have just found that it ends up answering questions that people had or questions they did not know they had.


The Scripture is the scepter through which Jesus rules his kingdom. We come with reverence and humility even though we may have questions. These are foundational that you either share or argue about. A lot of unity flows from an understanding of inerrancy and inspiration. 2ff7e9595c
