Back to A Self Study Course for your Bible
As the student continues his study of the Bible, he will doubtless wish to know just which books will really aid him. There are constantly being published scores of religious books, but they are by no means all genuinely Christian. We shall, therefore, recommend to the student a few books which will help him in Bible study and also to "grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." Two lists of books are given below. The first consists of twenty-five books which every Christian should possess. The second list contains books of interest on various phases of Christianity which may be recommended for further reading. Bible teachers especially should make use of these books.
- The Bible.
- The Westminster Confession.
- The Shorter Catechism.
- The Larger Catechism.
- The Heidelberg Catechism. As the student studies the Shorter and Larger Catechisms, he will also find help in the Heidelberg Catechism which follows the outline of the Apostles' Creed, The study of these three Catechisms together will truly be helpful.
