The 2018 Edition is over three times the size of the earlier editions--844 pages.
This book was out of print for 4 years and was in the edit process for 3 years with all new format and charts. NOTE: THE BOOK WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN 1996-1999 AND SOME OF THE DOCTRINAL POSITIONS IN THE EARLIER EDITIONS HAVE CHANGED SO DO NOT ORDER THE BOOK IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE ORIGINAL MATERIAL (Read the article on "Tribulation Salvation" at www.dougstauffer.com concerning some of the changes) Chapter one is now posted on my BLOG (http://www.dougstauffer.com/2018/03/one-book-rightly-divided-chapter-1.html) or you can check out the "One Book Rightly Divided" PAGE on Facebook as we post some excerpts (https://www.facebook.com/onebookrightlydivided/). It is interesting to see how much this book is ALREADY under attack!

God has given man the Bible, yet the scriptures are debated with more vigor and less agreement today than in any previous time. The resultant widespread error propagated by churches and cults has compelled the author to produce this work. One Book Rightly Divided addresses many difficult and confusing questions, such as:

One Book Rightly Divided will enable the reader to answer the critic and solve his own personal uncertainties concerning difficult passages within the word of God. This book proves that there is a right and wrong way to study and teach the Bible. The right way: Bible study God's way using God's method of study through rightly dividing the word of truth. Dispensational theology and dispensational premillennialism remain the only means for grasping the truths of God's word.
Gone are the days of being tossed to and fro by man's opinions and being further confused by teachers of false doctrines. After examining reading this book, our prayer is that you will read and study your Bible with a renewed zeal and confidence. By applying these principles to your Bible study, others will be shocked by your grasp of the Bible. Before long, the student in turn becomes the teacher...to God be the glory!
While considering the whole counsel of God, 2 Timothy 2:15 serves as the primary Bible study focus. There are many Bible study methods, but if you truly want to learn the Bible, this study will help assist you in ways that others have failed.
Every Bible student should study God's word from a Bible believing perspective. Remember how important it is to rightly divide the word of truth. The correct eschatological views only come from studying the Bible God's way.
