What the Bible Teaches

by Reuben A. Torrey

What the Bible Teaches is a classic volume that provides numerous outlined studies of what the Bible has to say on over fifty major doctrines of the Bible. The work examines what the Bible teaches about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, man, angels, Satan, prayer, worship, faith, and more. In this work, Torrey has made an attempt at a careful, unbiased study and statement of biblical truth, based upon a careful study of the original text. Beginning with one or more Scripture references as a starting point, these studies furnish a thorough analysis of a specific doctrinal truth. This orderly, systematic and thorough handbook is ideal for use as a reference work or in devotional study. It has been completely reformatted and the language has been updated to provide a useable study reference book for today's students of the Bible.

Excellent book to have on hand for reference. If someone asks me a question about the Bible or I think of something I want to know I can look it up and find out what the Bible teaches on that subject.

Want to nail down some of the foundation teachings of the faith froma full counsel perspective of the Word of God. Then read this a couple times through while looking up every verse. I once told someone, do not study without the willingnes to put in the elbow grease. Torrey took the time and love to put in some elbow grease. To put in the work to create a good work.
