In All the 2s of the Bible, scholar Herbert Lockyer conducts a fascinating study of the ways in which the writers of Scripture combined both contradictory and complimentary concepts in communicating biblical truth, often in the same verse. Too often, one of these double truths is dealt with to the exclusion of the other. But both sides deserve equal attention if we are to understand the truths contained in God's Word in concepts such as...
The lion and the lamb
Life and death
Loss and gain
Light and darkness
Triumphs and tears
Beauty for ashes
Losing and finding
Grace and truth
Peace and swords
Israel and the church
As Lockyer states, "As we are to prove in the examples of the twin truths we have chosen, often when found lying together in the bed of one verse, the one truth warms and supports the other; if the one seems to fall in our understanding, the other is there to lift it up and help it."
All the 2s of the Bible is a great resource for pastors, youth and group leaders, Sunday school instructors, or any believer who desires to delve deeper into God's Word.
