Bible Commentary. Treasury Of Scripture Knowledge The TreasuryofScripture Knowledge was, and still is, a Bible reference workfirstpublished around 1830, created by the London publisherSamuelBagster (1772-1851). It is a set of cross-references. Thatis, itconsists entirely of a book-length listing ofcross-references,showing only the chapter and verse citations withno accompanyingtext. About the size of a complete Bible, the TSK isalso organizedlike a Bible, beginning at Genesis and ending atRevelation. Eachverse of the Bible is cross-referenced to severalothers to enablethe reader to gain a true sense of each word andphrase as it isused in the Bible. - 800,000 cross-references,listing verses thatillustrate how words and phrases are usedelsewhere in the Bible. -Helps the reader interpret Scripture withScripture. - Briefchapter summaries. - Dates and other notes. Theoriginal Treasuryof Scripture Knowledge is one of the most valuableBible referenceworks ever to be published. Unlike a typicalcommentary, the TSKconsists primarily of scripture references withvery little"comment." Of course, there are "illustrative notes" (assodescribed by the original publisher), which include booksummaries,chapter outlines, short explanations, and alternatereadings oftenfound in the margins of the Authorized Bible.However, the TSKremains unique in that its primary purpose is topresent the readerwith copious cross-references so that the Biblestudent may allowScripture to be illuminated by the whitest oflights: Scriptureitself.
