One Book Rightly Divided: The Key to Understanding the Bible

by Douglas D. Stauffer

One Book Rightly Divided tackles one of the most pressing thelogical debates of our time - how to properly interpret the scriptures. Unlike most hermeneutical works, this book empowers the student by presenting the Bible's own internal method of self-interpretation. The teaching of right division is not a new concept designed by the author, but rather the scriptural mandate of God. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (II Timothy 2:15) By allowing the Bible to interpret itself, alleged contradictions and cultic heresies lose their power to confuse. Likewise, difficult passages (the one evaded in the commentaries) are suddenly reconcilable by rightly dividing the word of truth. Unique in its versatility, One Book Rightly Divided serves as a Christian's study guide, a Bible college textbook, or a pastor's homiletical aid. The reader will be helped by the many illuminating charts and the absence of technical language. This volume will enhance the Christian's personal walk with God by providing him with the biblical key to Bible study.

This book challenged me to really think about several matters with the framework of dispensationalism. Brother Stauffer address several key subjects.

One of the best books dealing with Dispensational theology out there. I think this book is worthy of being in any Christian's library and will give you a wealth of thoughts to ponder. This book is excellent for anyone trying to get a grasp of how to understand the Bible.

I'm still working on this one, but it is awesome! It really shows how to read the Bible as it is, not having to "spiritualize" seemingly conflicting passages. And it is easy to understand/read.
