"The Bible is the greatest of all books; to study it is the noblest of the all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals." Charles C. Ryrie

The tools within the Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition help illuminate the content of the Bible, yet man cannot add to the power of God's written Word. Throughout the centuries, God has spoken to His children through His inspired writings, and Scripture has molded more lives than any other book in history.

The intent of the Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition is to make the Bible more clear and meaningful to you. As you understand the history, culture, and geography of the first century, you will discover a deeper meaning behind the places of the Bible.

Outlines, introductions, and study notes can help you make sense of complex issues and are a useful means for retention. If you take time to read the synopsis of the Bible doctrine and other resources in the book, you will begin to sense a new level of maturity in your spiritual life. More importantly, by comprehending Scripture and its many messages, you will sense God working in your heart and changing your life.
