Exploring Hebrews, by John Phillips, is exactly what the title implies. In his explorations, John Phillips gives us first a comprehensive view of the whole book with special attention to the so-called "warning passages."  In his exposition, he draws freely on what other expositors have written. He aptly illustrates with personal experiences together with quotations from other sources. At times he uses his imagination to bring out what the letter to the Hebrews could have meant to an honest seeker who may have had questions about the sacrifices mentioned in the Old Testament and their meaning in the light of what our Lord did when He offered Himself without spot to God as the one great sacrifice that not only satisfies God but that meets our every need as well.

The book of Jude is a treasure chest of fact and illustration. It is a thunderbolt hurled from on high. Its echoes reverberate down the centuries. They sound the alarm for us in this Laodicean age of the church, an age marked by lukewarmness in the church pew, by rank apostasy in the seminary, and by liberalism in the pulpit itself. Jude is the man for our apostate age. His trumpet sounds the imminent coming of Christ. His voice is the last to speak to us in our Bible before the Apocalypse takes place. Let us listen, then, to Jude, and we will never again judge a book by its size.

Fascinating and vivid prophecies of the end times make Revelation one of the most intriguing books of the Bible. In Exploring Revelation John Phillips carefully and clearly outlines the book to give a better understanding of the events it describes concerning Christ, His church, and the coming Apocalypse. While the substance of the writing will appeal to the scholar, the easy-to-understand style will interest the layman as well.

Effective Bible study begins with a clear understanding of the Bible as an inspired whole instead of sixty-six disjointed books. Exploring the Scriptures gives the serious student a panoramic view of God's Word that provides a firm foundation for more detailed study of books, passages, and themes of the Bible.

Each book of Scripture is presented through a brief introduction, a concise outline, and a comprehensive summary of the book's content. Included also are special chapters dealing with the major divisions of Scripture and thirty-five maps and charts to help with visualization of important Bible content.

This inaugural volume in the John Phillips Bible Characters series provides a rich exposition of the lives of twenty-seven significant—and sometimes overlooked—people in the Old Testament. An excellent resource for pastors and teachers.
