How to Master the English Bible An Experience, a Method, a Result, an Illustration

"How to Master the English Bible" by James M. Gray is a handbook from the early 1900's designed to guide readers, especially those in religious roles, on how to effectively study and comprehend the Bible. The book stresses the importance of having a solid overall understanding of the Bible before diving into detailed study. Gray shares his journey and the effective "synthetic study" method he created, which involves reading each book of the Bible several times to understand its main concepts and how they link to other parts. This method aims to help readers see the Bible as a connected story and promotes thorough reading for deeper learning. Gray also supports preaching that is based directly on Bible passages to encourage a stronger spiritual connection to the scriptures for churchgoers. Therefore, this book serves as both a useful tool for religious leaders and a request to reignite a passion for the Bible's lessons among all believers.
