Be silent where the Bible is silent

This book has some really good parts to it! So why such a low rating? Because Dr Bill Creasy gives to many options on things the Bible is silent on. He tells you how people are feeling and what they are thinking when the Bible does not tell you.

For example he says that after God provides the ram for the sacrifice Abraham’s and Isaac’s relationship was strained and implies that they did not talk after this event. The issue is no where does the Bible say this, it’s his opinion.

When he sticks to what the Bible says it is good. There is an old saying that where the Bible is silent we must be too. I wish Dr Creasy fallowed this saying.

Really enjoy listening and learning.

Really enjoy listening and learning. I would recommend this audio book to anyone who wants to learn about the Bible. Excellent. Very enjoyable to listen and follow along in my Bible.

The Ultimate 60hr Bible Study Course!

Any additional comments?

This is one of the finest Bible teaching courses you can listen to and for only one credit; an absolute bargain on Audible. Dr Creasy has devoted his life to teaching God’s Word as a literary work in ~85 lessons (60 hrs). I suppose it is suggested to take one year, but I just loved it and devoured it in 3 months and what a fantastic journey it was! Dr Creasy not only knows the Bible, he knows world history which helps in understanding what is going on through every book of the Bible. I used to think Leviticus, I&2 Chronicles, Lamentations and several of the other Old Testament books were dry. But, when you have a great teacher who can bring each book to life, it is amazing!

I’ve already purchased many of the more detailed studies on each book of the Bible which is considered his 5 year course and can't wait to dive in.

Do yourself a favor and get started on this course now!

Never Read The Bible Before?

Nor had I, and certainly not beginning to finish. 63 years old, and my first time. BEGIN HERE, with this bible study and I guarantee you will be on the edge of your seat waiting for your next study, as taught by Bill Creasy! My next journey will be to read it again, with more of a philosophical approach, as this is taught in a more literary style, as text. But I KNOW, without Bill Creasy, there would be no second journey! Very educational, and most inspiring. I'm not sure who will guide me there, but I hope they reach my heart like this gifted and talented teacher !

Very Good listen with some problems

I've bought most of Dr. Bill Creasy's audiobooks. He is entertaining and adds a lot to help digest and understand the Bible. The old testament is much easier to understand with his help.
In the one year bible the audio is mostly very good but there are a few hours here and
there where the audio is bad and not understandable.
The other thing is to keep in mind that Creasy is Catholic and although he tries very
hard to stick to just the Bible....he does twist or add a few things here and there to
keep from offending persons who need
Catholism traditions to be "right." ....instead of the Bible. He tries to explain how Jesus has brothers and sisters over and over again.
He does this to keep Mary a pure virgin instead of a normal human woman.
He states as fact on occasion things that are absolutely not in the Bible.
Sometimes he is extremely good at clarifying but other times not.
I think this depends upon his audience at the time.
When Creasy states Peter became the head of the church in Rome (while teaching
Romans.) ..that has nothing to do with the Bible and is not in the Bible.
When Creasy does these things to please certain audiences it throws doubt and confusion on
everything else in the Bible.
Like maybe Andrew and
Simon were not brothers either ...maybe they were cousins living with
the same father. He goes a long way to explain that statues are not bad in churches...stuff like that, which you may or may not care about.
I have no idea if any of his adds from Catholic tradition hurt or not but just be aware. And it is not prevalent just occasional.
I still highly recommend his audiobooks.
The audio books are very good and very easy to listen to but keep your own
study going to make sure you get the facts.
I dont think Creasy intends to add or subtract from the New Testament
in his teaching but it could be viewed that way.
Not enough to discredit the rest of his teaching which is excellent.

Another Wonderful Set of Lectures from Bill Creasy

What made the experience of listening to One Year Bible the most enjoyable?

Moist of the Logos items on Audible are taken from the five year bible course but this is the entire one year class. Dr Creasy is a terrific teacher and makes the bible come to life.

Any additional comments?

As this bible is broken into 7 parts the individual sections should have been labeled to make it easier to find a desired book.

WOW what a great experience!!

I found myself fascinated by and thirsty for each new chapter! Dr. Creasy gives life to the Bible and a meaning and relevance I've never had before! What a blessing it has been in my life!!

An engaging introduction to help you in reading the bible

Would you listen to One Year Bible again? Why?

This is a series of lectures by Dr Bill Creacy which give a great overview to the Bible. He takes each book and sets it in context adding humour and colour as well as a deeper understanding. I would listen again as there is so much there. However it is a long listen.

Any additional comments?

One of the lectures was out of order in my copy (I think it was one of the lectures on 2 Kings)however this may have been fixed by now.

Exciting and humorous view of God!
