The NIV is the world's best-selling modern translation, with over 150 million copies in print since its first full publication in 1978.

The Scriptures are the greatest treasure that a person can possess. They are the only source of inspired, inerrant, and infallible revelation regarding God, His will, and His works--especially His work of redemption through Jesus Christ. The Christian cannot hold too high a view of the Bible or exalt it beyond what it deserves. For these reasons and many others, the Christian should consider the study of the Scriptures to be his or her primary and lifelong task. In this workbook, the fifth of his Biblical Foundations for the Christian Faith series, Paul Washer helps the student use the Scriptures to learn more about the Scriptures and discover why and how the Bible should be studied and obeyed. This workbook can be used as a 7-week study for individuals, families, Sunday school classes, small groups, and churches.
