Biography
Brad Strand, M.Ed., and Masters of Arts in Religion from Liberty University in 2001, is pastor of Harvest Bible Church in Cash, Texas. He has labored relentlessly on The Strand Study Bible since the fall of 1977. Well over 30,000 hours have been spent putting this work together. It is a work of a lifetime, inspired by a love for the truth.
Mission
The beauty of The Strand Study Bible is that is was not written with any particular Christian denomination in mind. It was not compiled to appeal to a certain "clientele" with Christendom. This work was composed with one purpose in mind - to better help the reader understand who God is, why He created us, and what He expects from our life.
Purpose
- To expound in all the Scriptures the things concerning the Messiah, thus pointing both sinner and saint back to Christ (Luke 24:27).
- To make the Scripture more accessible and comprehensible (I Corinthians 2:13).
- To put an end to all fighting that goes on amongst Christians concerning "non-Heaven and Hell" issues (i.e., "secondary doctrines" - Genesis 1:2c), and to unify as many of them as possible to work towards one end - reaching the lost via the Gospel of Christ (Phillipians 1:18 and Luke 9:50)
