Inside this book are guidelines that I believe one must follow if they are to rightly understand God's Word. If we follow these guidelines, we will be able to know God's will and his truth. God does not intend for us to know everything in this life for faith is crucial to the Christian life, but that which He is willing to share is there inside His Word. However, one must know how to approach it. This book not only show you how to do this, but gives examples of it being applied. It also covers many biblical doctrines using this format to show how these doctrines must be understood.

The Bible is the word of God. In Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, author C.L. Chapman helps Christians understand and embrace the life messages and lessons contained in the Bible. Delivering timely information, this guide is divided into two books. The first book, "On Defense," discusses how to discern the difference between sound Biblical information and erroneous misinformation. It illustrates both the errors and the intended misinformation about the Bible and its contents and demonstrates how to deal with both the misinformation and those who spread it. The second book, "Reaching Forth," explains how to glean the basic information needed to grow, mature, and profit spiritually from the Bible and its message in order to become both victorious and fruitful in the Lord. Chapman teaches that the Bible does not need decoding; it only needs to be understood and its message embraced. It is the word of God that produces life, health, peace, victory, prosperity, deliverance, and abundant blessings for believers even in these tumultuous end-times.

"Every Bible college, seminary, and church should avail itself of this work as a key textbook and reference tool."--Dr. Jerry L. Rockwell, Sword of the Lord Publishers. Includes 90 charts and 1,475 fully indexed Scriptures.

This book is a guide on how to study the Bible using Biblical principles. We need to know the scriptures accurately to know who God is and how He want us to live. God's word tells us to apply ourselves to know what He told us, to run after that knowledge to handle it correctly in order to serve and work acceptably for Him. This necessitates that we wholeheartedly and continuously seek the answers and guidelines of truth as found in the Scriptures. If we do not, if we are lazy or put this as a low priority, we will be ashamed when we see our Lord face to face. His word is life's source. Here we will look at what it means to rightly divide or accurately understand the Bible's truth to know God and make Him known, to put it above mere tradition and man's philosophy, to learn and teach with sound understanding and equally valid application of what we are to live by. Our adversary led us astray with "has God indeed (really) said," in order to lessen the authority of God's word and good will for us. We must not yield to this deception from our own thinking or from others, but cut His word straight to know and follow the truth that has set us free.

The master key to understanding the Bible is to rightly divide the word of truth as we are commanded to do by the apostle Paul. Only through right division can you properly understand the scriptures determining what passages apply to us, the body of Christ.
