Trent Butler has extensive education and experience in biblical studies, having taught at Atlanta Baptist College, Southern Baptist Seminary, and International Baptist Theological Seminary in Rüschlikon, Switzerland. He is the author of <em>Joshua</em> and <em>Judges </em>in the Word Biblical Commentary Series.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Six Ways to Study the Bible by Trent Butler is a wonderful compendium<br /> of an enormous amount of material that will assist and increase one's<br /> understanding of the study of the Scriptures. Each of the six ways is<br /> copiously supported by a detailed list of questions centered around four<br /> biblical passages that are used to illustrate the methods taught. Whereas<br /> one would ordinarily need to dig through scores of texts to get the<br /> same material, here it is succinctly offered in very compact and pleasing<br /> form."<br /> Walter C. Kaiser Jr., president emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary</p><p>"Based on years of work as a seminary professor, editor, Bible teacher<br /> in churches, and as a biblical scholar, Trent Butler leads beginning or<br /> nonprofessional students through the intricacies of the serious study<br /> of the Bible. The six 'ways' he discusses cover issues associated with<br /> determining what the text actually said--surely the beginning point for<br /> any serious study--as well as literary, exegetical, historical, theological, <br /> and personal understandings of the text. He nevertheless treats biblical<br /> study as an art, one any serious believer can practice."<br /> Paul Redditt, Georgetown College</p><p>"If you want to get serious about studying the Bible, you must read this<br /> book. It's an excellent overview of the Bible study process, chock-full<br /> of helpful illustrations. It dances to a different tune, I must warn you.<br /> Not many books tell you what you need to know about the literary<br /> quality of the Bible, but this one does. It will challenge you to come<br /> up with a personalized plan of study that is both logical and practical.<br /> Remember that the goal of all Bible study is to produce Christlike<br /> change in our lives. If that's your aim, this book will help you to lay a<br /> firm foundation."<br /> David Alan Black, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary</p><p>"Trent Butler demonstrates that reverence for Scripture need<br /> not preclude asking probing questions about the texts' origin, <br /> transmission, and meaning. In an engaging style, Butler welcomes<br /> readers into deeper dialogue with the Bible, uncovering the<br /> mysteries of study Bible notes and commentators' jargon. By<br /> preceding the chapter on devotional study, 'the queen of Bible<br /> study, ' with guides to textual, literary, historical, exegetical, <br /> and theological study, Butler shows how all of these enrich the<br /> meaning of the text. Students of the Bible who want to go beyond<br /> what other people tell them, but don't know how to start, should<br /> grab Butler's book and dig in."<br /> Sandra Hack Polaski, author of A Feminist Introduction to Paul</p><p>"Just as a master craftsman is one who is an expert in working<br /> with the tools of his craft, so an educated Bible reader is one who is<br /> trained in using the tools of biblical study. In Six Ways to Study the<br /> Bible, Trent Butler introduces readers to six of the most important<br /> tools they should have in their tool belts in order to study the Bible<br /> effectively. This slim volume, written by a veteran Bible scholar<br /> with the heart of a pastor, would make an excellent preparatory<br /> text for church Bible study groups and introductory level college<br /> classes."<br /> Ralph K. Hawkins, Kentucky Christian University</p><p>"A good resource for highly motivated laypeople, this book takes<br /> readers on an in-depth journey through six different ways of<br /> reading the Bible. It will repay its readers with helpful suggestions<br /> about these different approaches."<br /> David M. Howard, Jr., Bethel Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota</p><p> </p><br>
