Berean Study Bible

After reading the Bible one day I came across a Bible Verse that struck me in a particular way. That verse was Acts 17:11 and like many of you, I begin to ponder more and more of the meaning and with further research found out some interesting things. First of all, I thought it was very good how the inhabitants of the area welcomed the word of Paul and Silas as recorded in the Book of Acts Chapter 17.

People that were open minded and welcomed the daily study of scripture with a ready mind.
