Praise for the Print Edition
…We often tend to focus on the doctrinal content of the Bible at the expense of its emotional impact…Ryken emphasizes that the Bible does not appear as a theological outline with proof texts attached, but as stories, visions, poems, and letters.
—John F. Brug, author of three volumes in the People’s Bible Commentary
…Set forth in simple, straightforward, precise…language…Teaching and preaching the Bible as God’s Word in man’s language can become more colorful, insightful, and challenging when done in the light of what Ryken has done here.
—Peter Y. DeJong, former professor of pastoral theology, Calvin Theological Seminary
