In this compendium of Bible Talks, F B Hole sets out the great themes of the Christian faith. As he says in his preface, "The Scriptures themselves speak of the 'great salvation', which has reached us through the Gospel. We, who have experienced the saving grace of God, know something of its greatness, but it is only as we search the Scriptures and investigate its details that the magnitude of what God has brought to pass begins to dawn upon us." With this in view, he sets out to examine systematically the main aspects of salvation, bearing in mind all the time that each is but one part of a great whole. "They are considered separately in order that we may gain a fuller understanding of each part, and thereby more fully understand the whole." Having established a rounded view of what God has done, he then continues with an exposition of the Biblical basis for living the Christian life, covering issues in the Christian's personal relationship with God, and with other Christians. The approach is unashamedly dispensational: "A knowledge of 'dispensational truth', as it is often termed, is indispensable for the intelligent reading of the Bible. Yet many Christians seem to have hardly given it a thought." Through exposition and a series of questions and answers in each chapter, the author seeks to lead the reader's thoughts to a deeper appreciation of God's past, present and future activity.
