Knowing the Scriptures: Rules and Methods of Bible Study

This book is the result of half a century of Bible study, and was published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of A. T. Pierson’s entrance upon the ministry. It presents some 50 rules and methods of study which he has tried and found helpful, illustrated by examples to make the principles easy to follow. This volume will be found instructive in all three departments: homiletics, hermeneutics, and apologetics. It begins with the Bible as a whole and its claims on faith and obedience, then takes up the language and shows various peculiarities of forms of speech, words, phrases, sentences, etc., then passes to the thought and substance of the Divine Book.
