[edit] Bible Encyclopedia?

In what way is Reasoning From the Scriptures a "Bible encyclopedia?" It does not claim to be. It claims to be a recruitment and proselytizing "handbook," and is also referred to in the publications as a "training manual" for the field ministry. It is never referred to as "an encyclopedia" by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Comparison to Insight on the Scriptures is badly informed.

It is an instruction manual on major doctrines of the religion and a source of reasoning points as well as secular and scripture references for use in discussion of doctrines.

I agree. If the article said it was an encyclopedia, then it was wrong. The Insight books are the only ones that even try to pass as an encyclopedia. The Reasoning book is nowhere remotely close.Tommstein 01:11, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
