Book Review: Ron Rhodes - The Little Book about the Bible

I will be reviewing at least three books in this series. This is the second I have read and they have been very good reads. There will be some overlap in my reviews. This is so those who see a review for one book will get a general overview of the format the whole series takes.

This book in the series takes us through the doctrines of scripture. The Bible is God's Word. It is without error. It is sufficient. It is understandable. It is God breathed.

Rhodes shows us how the canon was recognized, looks at manuscript evidence and archeology, shows how the bible was copied, how it was translated, what the dead sea scrolls have to do with the bible, and much, much more.

There are 28 chapters, each discussing a different aspect of the doctrines of Scripture.

Here is also a list of chapters:

Bibliography

Like the first book I read, it makes for a good reference tool. When someone claims the Bible is just a man made book, you can turn to the section on inspiration. There will be 2 pages of information to use in your discussion.

Like the other books in the series, there are some great quotes at the end of each chapter.

I will keep this book handy to look up those verses I need when defending the Gospel.

There is also a great Bibliography at the end for farther reading.

I highly recommend it and give it 5 out of 5 stars.

I received this book free of charge from Harvest House Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
