Fitly Framed Together-The Bible may be the most interesting look at the Bible in less than 150 pages. It is fascinating reading for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is interesting how the books of the Bible came together and how either parts or the entireBible has been translated in over 4,000 languages. No other book has been acclaimed and translated into so many languages. So, is the Bible “a word from God” or is it “The Word of God”? Fitly Framed Together–The Bible will take the reader through an organized journey through the Bible, outlining how the Bible was put together as the authoritative Word of God. How it has endured the logistics of nature and the tainted existence of mankind is a story in and of itself. Following an introduction which discusses how the Bible has influenced mankind and the various societies and cultures that have prevailed throughout the history of the earth, Fitly Framed Together-the Bible discusses other topics.
They include: • Themes of the Bible. Such themes are Who is God, What is Sin, Judgment of Sin, Redemption and Jesus. There was a beginning and there will be an end is also discussed as well as a summary of each book of the Bible. • How Our Bible Came To Be. Not only is the initial writing by human authors discussed, but how the Bible as we know it came together and has been sustained and has endured throughout history. • Use of Numbers in the Bible. As God intended the Bible to be understood, the use of certain numbers bring to action meanings and significance to the many stories of the Bible. Not only are these numbers uses to better clarify and enlighten the reader, but there is a great unity of these numbers from the Old Testament through the New Testament. However, there are no “secret” numeric codes or encryptions using numbers in the Bible. • Use of Genealogy in the Bible. There are many references to genealogies and family trees listed in Scripture. These genealogies, especially when combined with Numbers in the Bible give better meaning and clarity to what the Bible is trying to convey to its readers. • Chronology. Fitly Framed Together-the Bible concludes with a chronology or history timeline of Scripture accounts. In addition, this timeline continues to current time and a brief speculative glimpse into the future. The descriptions and accounts of the Bible are in harmony and in one accord. Although the Bible is “about God”, Jesus is the cornerstone, and Fitly Framed together-the Bible by highlighting Jesus in each book of the Bible. Without Jesus the Bible makes no sense. Without His death and resurrection, it makes no difference. In order to show that the Bible in indeed Fitly Framed Together, Jesus must be the cornerstone of discussion. • Where did the Bible come from? • Why do some claim the Bible is the Word of God? • Why do some debunk the bible and its message? • What difference does it make what we think of the Bible?
These may be questions that we ponder concerning the Bible. But if you were to reach the conclusion that the Bible is the real, authoritative Word of God, how would it change your life? The Bible has played a major role in the development of human culture and mankind from the beginning. Fitly Framed Together-The Bible can be a valued resource that can possibly help your understanding and acceptance as to the validity and authority of the Bible. We may live in a bad news world but there is actually good news in the Bible. The American people are subject to a tax code that is so enormous that it is ten times thicker than the Bible, and in the past ten years there have been over 5,000 editions and changes. But what has been written in the Bible and applied to the human race stands alone, firm, and unchanging. For Christians looking for a good Bible study Fitly Framed Together-The Bible can strengthen your faith in the Scriptures, drawing you closer to God. For Non-Christians Fitly Framed Together-The Bible can at least give “food for thought” that there might be some legitimacy to the Bible, at least worthy of discussion.
