Tools to unearth the Bible's treasure

Quantity

This is a toolbox. Sorry if this conjures up painful memories of failed DIY projects, hours spent waiting for the emergency services on the hard shoulder of the motorway, or rusty, forgotten implements decked with cobwebs at the back of your garden shed. But there are no spanners or trowels here. These tools are rather a means of getting to the bottom of any Bible passage and discovering its true meaning.

Dig Deeper

In this short book Nigel and Andrew give you 16 method ‘tools’ to use when reading the Bible, such as the author’s purpose tool and Bible timeline tool. These have proved so helpful that we used this book as part of ministry training at church. I guarantee that this book will enable you to get more out of the Bible and unearth some hidden treasure. It certainly does encourage you to Dig Deeper!

Dig Deeper

A fantastic book, which walks through how to understand the central point of what a given passage of the Bible is saying (ie how to do exegesis). Each chapter presents a different “tool” for discerning the meaning. While a lot of these may seem like common sense (for example, the “repetition tool” more or less says that if something is repeated, then it is probably important), often it is nevertheless common sense we need to hear. Particularly in the light of the lack of understanding over how the Bible works as a book, I’d highly recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to understand how to mine the treasures of Scripture for themselves.

Dig Deeper! Or that's what the title to Nigel Beynon and Andrew Sach's book encouraged me to do as I read the Bible. Dig Deeper! Tools to unearth the Bible's treasure is a short 160 page book published by IVP UK, aiming to equip believers with the methods they need to improve their reading and understanding of the Bible. The book contains 17 different `tools' for getting the most from the Bible including, the structure tool, the translations tool and the copycat tool, among others. Each `tool' is given a few pages of explanation, with a useful "worked example" and then followed up with exercises to do yourself. This makes the book easy to study and absorb, as the repetition of the concepts through the examples and exercises works it into your memory. A word of warning however, this is not a scholarly book and nor is it in depth but neither does it claim to be this. In the bibliography at the back of the book other more advanced books are suggested for the reader, if they feel they would like to go further. This is a book that I cannot fail to recommend highly enough to the average non-scholarly Christian, providing an excellent entry level guide to getting the most out of the Bible.
