Basics of Bible Interpretation
Bible Study by
Robert Smith
This is a study book. If you do not have your Bible side by side with it as you study you will miss much of its value. The format I have used is simple.

You will want to follow my an alysis step by step in your own Bible to really appreciate what I’m trying to do.

“Evangelism Ministry;every Sunday morning, millions of believers gather to celebrate God’s presence in their lives. Far fewer return to their homes and workplaces and share that incredible relationship with other people. The common “”sales pitch”” model of evangelism has made talking about God appealing to only a few personality types.
