The Bible is the most widely read book of all time. Over a period of manycenturies, through a variety of human authors, God has communicated His message through Scripture. Reading the Bible with understanding means that readers do not merely seek to understand the history of God's people or the story line of great literature. Instead, God desires for readers to understand both the facts of the story and His purpose in writing.With a pastoral heart, Dr. Burgland leads the reader into a deeper understanding of God's life-giving Word.
