About the author
William MacDonald
408 books58 followersWilliam MacDonald (1917-2007) had, for more than forty years, written directly about the key issues of Christianity. Leaving a promising business career as an employed investment analyst with First National Bank of Boston "at the foot of the Cross", he had traveled worldwide, proclaiming the unsearchable riches of Christ.
His more than over eighty-four works published in North America are characterized by a clarity and economy of words that only comes by a major time investment in the Word of God.
MacDonald graduated with an AB degree from Tufts College (now University) in 1938 and an MBA degree from Harvard Business School in 1940. During the 1940's he was on active duty in the US Navy for five years.
He was President of Emmaus Bible College, a teacher, preacher, and Plymouth Brethren theologian alongside his ministry as a writer. He was a close friend and worker with O.J. Gibson.
MacDonald last resided in California where he was involved in his writing and preaching ministry. He went to be with the Lord in 2007.

This book has many practical helps in studying the Bible.
Regrading the use of bible commentaries it says "Two extremes are to be avoided regarding commentaries. one is to go to the commentaries first and make them the standard for what the bible teaches. This is not unlike the traditions of the Pharisees or medieval Christendom.
Judge the commentaries by the overall teaching of the Bible, not vice versa.
The other extreme is to reject commentaries altogether. This is just as unreasonable as rejecting the preached Word. For example, the very sound and still popular commentaries of Harry A. Ironside are merely edited versions of his verse-by-verse messages at Moody Church on all of NT books and some OT books."
On bible marking it says " Another view is to keep a totally unmarked Bible for your daily devotions so that you will get ''fresh manna" every day."
Recommend for those who have no idea of how to study the Word of God.
