How to Master the Bible

Name: How to Master the Bible
Author: Martin Anstey

Martin Anstey (1860–1921) was an English Bible chronologer and genealogist from Devon. In The Romance of Bible Chronology (1913), the two volumes in our library, he argued that the Bible's own numbers form a complete, gapless chronology from Adam to Christ, and that apparent gaps dissolve when every internal clue is followed carefully. His work remains a reference point in discussions of biblical chronology and literal readings of the genealogies.

About this book

Martin Anstey presents the Bible as a unified revelation of God’s will, given to be understood and obeyed, and outlines methods for studying it by books, cross-references, topics, types, dictionaries, concordances, and commentaries. He urges readers to pursue steady, systematic study, give Scripture authority in their lives, use it in teaching, and defend it by letting it speak for itself.
