Bible Study Tools For The Layman � 1

2 � Bible Study Tools For The Layman

INTRODUCTION

Finding good resources on biblical issues can be a difficulttask. Often believers want to study a certain topic or issue but donot know where to start or where to find good books. That is whythe pastors and staff of Indian Hills Community Church havecomposed this recommended booklist to help the lay member(and pastors) find resources that are readable and trustworthy.The following are characteristics of this booklist:

1) Easily Defined Categories. There are four main categories tothis list � General Reference, Old Testament, New Testa-ment, and Theology and Critical Issues.

2) A Rating System. The books in each list are numbered inorder of preference. Those works that have a * beforethem are highly recommended.

3) Readable. This list is geared with the lay member in mind.Though some books are more challenging than others, wehave tried to avoid those that are technical and require anadvanced knowledge of Greek and Hebrew.

4) Theologically Sound. The books selected are those that thepastors and staff of Indian Hills Community Churchbelieve are theologically sound.

Also, since one�s millennial perspective can greatly effectone�s interpretation of Scripture, we have indicated, whenneeded, whether an author is Premillennial (Pre), Amillennial(A), or Postmillennial (Post). Since we hold to a DispensationalPremillennial viewpoint on Scripture, most of the works (includ-ing all prophetic ones) are from a Dispensational perspective.
