Product Description
“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.”
The seventeenth-century English essayist Sir Francis Bacon was not thinking exclusively of the Bible as he wrote these words. But there is little doubt that if the admonition “to be read wholly and with diligence and attention” is to be applied to any book, it is certainly to be applied to the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments which are the Word of God. The Bible is one form of God’s gracious revelation of Himself to men and women. It should be highly cherished. Love for God plus a desire to know Him better as well as to obey His express commands should compel us to study it diligently.
