Why Even Bother to Read and Study the Bible?

Earlier this month, pastor-author Kevin DeYoung released a book titled, Taking God at His Word. The book is a brief introduction to the area of theology known as bibliology (the doctrine of the Bible). It is one of the best books I have ever run across of its kind. It is readable, relevant and in today's world of the church, refreshing. Concerning the Bible, DeYoung writes that "it is final (the authority of the Word), it is understandable (the clarity of the Word), it is necessary (the necessity of the Word) and it is enough (the sufficiency of the Word). 

So why even bother to read and study the Bible? DeYoung would answer "Because it is knowable, final, necessary and enough." And he's right!
