About the author

Reuben Archer Torrey studied at Yale and in Germany before taking up a pastorate in the United States. As a gifted intellectual, administrator, and Bible teacher, he went on to pastor Moody Church in Chicago and became D.L. Moody's closest associate. In his later years, he traveled the world as an evangelist speaking to millions in Australia, New Zealand, India, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Japan, China, Hawaii, Germany, the United States, and Canada. Torrey edited the last two volumes of the monumental "The Fundamentals" and was instrumental in the founding of both Moody Bible Institute and BIOLA University.

Reviews

[Deke · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is so useful in Bible study. It is a smaller handbook that one can carry anywhere and provides seemingly endless cross-references to verses of Scripture.

[Anne Berthlot · Rating 1 out of 5]

Too difficult to use

Needs a better index to the information in the body of the text. For example, as it is now, if I wanted to look up the references to John 3:16, I would have to begin with Genesis or work backwards from Revelation.

[Kenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Essential addition to any Christian's library.

[Benjamin Page · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read the preface and the concluding remarks and the author is dead on in his assessment of the Christ's church--this extends to even myself and to many of the leaders I respect. This volume is packed with helpful cross-references. It would take a lifetime to study through this.

[Scott Cox · Rating 4 out of 5]

I find this to be a helpful concordance of scripture that augments well Strong's Concordance and other Bible tools.
