Gourt Home::Gourt :: Insight on the Scriptures
Insight on the Scriptures is a hard cover two-volume Bible and doctrinal encyclopedia of Jehovah's Witnesses, published by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania in 1988. Both volumes are 1,280 pages long, with volume 1 covering topics Aaron to Jehoshua, and volume 2 covering Jehovah through Zuzim. The Insight books replaced the older reference work Aid to Bible Understanding (one volume) previously used by Jehovah's Witnesses.
The works contain full-color illustrations, graphs, charts, maps and other visual aids, as well as detailed analyses of all subjects found in the Bible as interpreted by Jehovah's Witnesses. Biblical views on subjects such as mercy, death and so on are also discussed as their own headings. Subjects such as the trinity, theology, and apostolic succession do not have their own headings, as Jehovah's Witnesses claim there is no direct mention of them in the Bible.
The Insight books contain articles on every book of the Bible (except for the deuterocanonical books which are discussed in the article Apochrypha) with an outline of each's principal ideas.
