The Bible—what is it? Where is it? What part of it is vital to people in the world today?

85 Pages in the Bible answers these questions in a uniquely Biblical way. It is in part a survey of the Bible and what it says to those of us living in the world today, and a critical assessment of Christian institutions who claim the Bible as the authority for their doctrines and practices. Author Mike Schroeder employs a method of Bible study, prescribed by the Bible itself, called “rightly dividing.” This approach directs the inquirer to the truths in the Bible that are absolutely vital to his or her understanding of it, and its promises. 

While many books about the Bible support their discourses with Scripture reference numbers (chapter and verse) to substantiate their positions—leaving the task of looking up the references to the reader—85 Pages in the Bible takes this to another level, quoting some 1500 verses in the main body of text, comprising over thirty thousand words of Scripture. Schroeder’s purpose in doing this is to showcase the Scriptures themselves, rather than his explanation of them. The result is a proper understanding of the Bible, as directed by the Bible itself, directly from the Bible itself.
