This book clearly explains how we need to Approach the Bible if we are to make sense of what God has said. It does so in an easy to read style and with easy to understand method. Michael Penny does and excellent job of following the advice of Bishop Miles Coverdale, which was contained in the first Bible printed in English.

That advice was based on asking such questions as:

  • "Who" were these words written to, or "Who" were they about?
  • "Where" is this to take place?
  • "When" was it written or "When" is it about?
  • "What", precisely, is said?
  • "Why" did God say it, do it, or will do it?

After asking such questions, we then will have a better understanding of the Bible and can "Apply" that passage to out lives today.

The book is in five parts:
