Brad Strand, M.Ed., and Masters of Arts & Religion from Liberty University in 2001, is pastor of the 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.

The beauty of THE STRAND STUDY BIBLE is that it was not written with any particular Christian denomination in mind. It was not compiled to appeal to a certain “clientele” within 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

The purpose of THE STRAND STUDY BIBLE is:

1. To expound in all the Scriptures the things concerning the Messiah, thus pointing both sinner and saint back to Christ (Lk 24:27).
2. To make the Scriptures more accessible and comprehensible (I Cor 2:13).3:
3. To put an end to all the fighting that goes on amongst Christians concerning “non-Heaven and Hell” issues (i.e., “secondary doctrines”- Gen 1:2c), and to unify as many of them as possible to work towards one end –reaching the lost via the Gospel of Christ (Phil 1:18 and Lk 9:50).
