Reviews

"Everyone aspiring to expound the Bible should read The Bible Expositor's Handbook, Old Testament. One of the crying needs in our day involves the shameful neglect of adequate preparation both in personal spirituality and in interpreting the Bible with accuracy. Such neglect leads to a denial of biblical unity and continuity. Greg Harris instructs the expositor by exemplifying the process and explaining the foundation for each step. He studiously ties exposition to the text by means of a sound hermeneutic.

Throughout The Bible Expositor's Handbook, New Testament, readers will experience the care and compassion of their guide and intuitively understand that he is interceding with the Father on their behalf as they read, study, and apply biblical truth to their lives. Recommend this resource to every Christian--it will richly reward their time within its pages and along its trails."

--William D. Barrick, professor emeritus of Old Testament, The Master's Seminary

"I am absolutely thrilled that this volume has been written! The Bible Expositor's Handbook, Old & New Testaments is not your ordinary textbook. Greg Harris has written an easy-to-read masterpiece that exposes readers to the glory and wonder of Christ in both Old and New Testaments. The Bible Expositor's Handbook is worthy of recognition, time and attention. Anyone interested in the Bible should be interested in this excellent work. I have already begun to use this book to teach at our theological institute in the South Pacific because it is relentlessly biblical, and I liked its straightforward exegesis. The study questions at the end of each chapter are well thought out and ready to be used in a classroom setting. It is a must read because of its Bible-centered approach. Highly Recommended!"

--Premend Choy, executive vice-president, College of Theology and Evangelism, Fiji

"Greg Harris is known for his God-given ability to open the Scriptures to his audience, as well as his faithfulness to the inspiration, inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible. His deep commitment to the Word of God, along with his experience as a teacher of Bible Exposition classes for over three decades, culminates in The Bible Expositor's Handbook, Old & New Testaments where he, with the Bible as the only source, shows the unity and incredible works of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is not a book about the Bible--this is a worshipful read and an incredibly valuable tool. For the serious student of the Scriptures, The Bible Expositor's Handbook, Old & New Testaments contains an unparalleled wealth of wisdom. It will be a book that you will never stop using with others."

--Georg Huber, national director, Precept Ministries, German-speaking Europe

"The Bible Expositor's Handbook is a helpful guide to understanding the overall message of Scripture. Greg Harris demonstrates what it means to have a consistent, literal-grammatical-historical hermeneutic all the way from Genesis to Revelation. This is a rare resource that does not shy away from difficult passages that are often raised against interpreting the Bible according to the plain sense. I highly recommend this resource to every faithful expositor."

--John McArthur, pastor-teacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA, and chancellor emeritus, The Master's Seminary

"In The Bible Expositor's Handbook, Old & New Testaments, Harris uses clear and attractive language to explain deep biblical truths. The approach is didactic, emphasizing each step of the exegetical process. The deliberate use of the Bible only as the textbook is a great feature of this book; it allows Scripture to interpret Scripture. Every chapter contributes to a clearer understanding of the sovereignty of God in history and sets the text studied within God's overarching plan for humanity. This combined edition offers an overview of the key messages of Scripture, and provides a pattern for expositional study. This is an essential work in the library of any Bible teacher and Bible lover."

--Faly Ravoahangy, ministry partner, Madagascar 3M

"The Bible Expositor's Handbook: Old & New Testaments summarizes Greg Harris' best thinking on various themes of both the Old and New Testaments. With his commitment to the inspiration, inerrancy and authority of Scripture, Harris calls for a return to the priority of reading and expositing the Bible itself, via a historical-grammatical hermeneutic. The book provides crucial keys needed to unlock specific portions of Scripture. I am so thankful for this Handbook that is a gift to the church, and consider it an honor to give endorsement to a work by my life-long friend who has greatly enriched my life beyond words."

--Imad N. Shehadeh, president, professor of theology, Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary
