MacArthur Bible Studies

by John F. MacArthur Jr.

These study guides, part of a 16-volume set from noted Bible scholar John MacArthur, take readers on a journey through biblical texts to discover what lies beneath the surface, focusing on meaning and context, and then reflecting on the explored passage or concept. With probing questions that guide the reader toward application, as well as ample space for journaling, The MacArthur Bible Studies are an invaluable tool for Bible Students of all ages.

Oops finished this awhile ago with the ladies in my church. It brought up some very interesting questions and theological discussions. The questions were well done always bringing you back to what the Scripture was actually saying not, and gave many other Scripture references to get you digging deeper and studying more on your own. Our Womans's Bible study is now doing J Mac's Acts study. Looking forward to that as well.

Great study as usual from John MacArthur.

[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

My main complaint about this John MacArthur Bible study -- and I'll bet it will be the same with the James study we are starting on -- is that he doesn't leave enough space to answer the questions. There will be a question with five blank lines under it, and below that, five Bible passages to consider when answering the questions. By the time you've jotted down notes from those passages, you don't have room to address the question itself. At least I don't; I write big.
It also contains, I'm convinced, a few typos that sent us running after the wrong Bible passages.
But MacArthur's questions and commentary were good springboards for the discussions we've had in our men's group on Thursday evenings this year. The best part of those discussions, really, were the other guys: Jack, Bill, Jeff, Gary, Ed and Dennis. But MacArthur -- and Peter -- gave us a good starting point.

John MacArthur does a fantastic job of challenging the reader to think more deeply about the scripture being studied. The Bible has all the answers we need, but it's nice to have some perspective brought to what we study.

Loved this study. So much to learn. The extra scriptures add so much to the lesson.

A very comprehensive study guide. I like the Bible verses and contextual history he provides. One thing in particular - there are always clear Biblical answers to the study questions he asks. So you don't finish a lesson and wonder just what exactly it was you were studying.
