BIBLE STUDY - KEN ANDERSON & OTHER HELPERS
Sunday, September 27, 2015

2Timothy 2:15 Study earnestly to present yourself approved to God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.

  I am certain that the “more noble” (Acts 17:11) Bereans were active 2Corinthians 5 ambassadors for Christ. They shared edification with all interested individual and groups.
  God tells us that we are to aid one another in maturation. “When you gather, each person has a psalm, doctrine, revelation, another language, or an interpretation. Everything must be done to help each other grow.” (GW 1Cor.14:26)
  In previous DTs I’ve told of a number of helps passed on to us by various Bible scholars. There are many more. Today I share several favorites that I use.
    In 1996 Ken Anderson provided easy to use WHERE TO FIND IT IN THE BIBLE, The Ultimate A to Z Resource Fully Illustrated, containing 3,700 topics from “abandoned” to “zoology”. It can be purchased at http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntt=Ken+Anderson&N=0&Ntk=keywords&action=Search&Ne=0&event=ESRCG&nav_search=1&cms=1 for $6.97 (hardback) or $13.99 (paperback) plus S&H.
  Meredith’s BOOK OF BIBLE LISTS, A One-Of-A-Kind Collection Of Bible Facts In List Form, is no larger than a paperback Christian novel and a wonderful simple-to-use resource. Chapter one has 14 lists including 10 Commandments, Eight Warnings Concerning Evil Spirits, to Guidelines for Church Leaders. Chapter two provides 23 lists having to do with Biblical promises, including Seven OT Promises for Families. Chapter 8 has 5 lists on the topic of sex, including 30 Rules of Conduct Concerning Sex, and 30 Results of Being a Homosexual. It too can be acquired at Christianbook.com.
  ISBE (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) is made up of a set of A to Z heavy books. Rather than lift them or spread across my already cluttered study desks, I downloaded free from e-Sword.com, and use frequently personally and to pass portions on to others that ask topical questions.
  Nave’s Topical Bible is handy resource the size of a regular Bible. Mine is better quality leather bound as the salesman insisted for-free after he walked thru our glass door. Orville J. Nave was “Chaplain in the Army of The United States.” He organized in print “More than 20,000 Bible topics and subtopics, and 100,000 related references, … embracing all doctrines of Biblical religion, and all phases of ancient society, history, law, politics, and other secular subjects; Archaeology, the arts, sciences, philosophy, ethics, and economics; principles of government, equity, and right personal conduct; biography, personal incident, and illustrative facts; geography, the history of nations, states, and cities, and a multitude of common subjects, illustrative of ancient religions, governments, fashions, customs, and ideas.” . . . doing so without commentary, leaving it to the individual to study Bible verses referenced. For a small fee to the copyright owners, it too can be downloaded in e-Sword. Or purchased from Christianbook.com.  
  Got questions?, http://www.gotquestions.org/ is another exceptionally fine free help with its thus far 240,000+ Bible questions answered. In numerous available languages, every answering includes cursor activated Bible references.
  Now, please do share your favorite easy-to-use helpful books. Include complete title and cost for those interested in acquiring. I’ll publish your helps in Saturday DT FORUM.
