Biblical Resources
1599 Geneva Bible
Below are some biblical resources that are scholarly written and uphold the Inerrancy of the Bible. Unfortunately, many so-called Christian resources are fluff and not very Biblical. Most Evangelical colleges and seminaries do not teach how to exegete the Scriptures--they use "eisegesis" to interpret the Bible instead of "exegesis." The so-called "inductive" Bible study has deceived many people into thinking what the text means to them--relating a text to your personal life is application, not interpretation. Application of a passage is subjective and personal. "Exegesis" of a text gives you the objective meaning of the passage and has nothing to do with your circumstances--the interpretation of Scripture should be based on the grammar, syntax, literary context, and cultural context of the passage in question. This method of interpretation is objective and Biblical. "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of Truth" (II Tim. 2:15, NASB).
