• The Biblical Illustrator will help increase the student's thought—All Scripture is profitable for instruction, for each Christian in their many walks of life. It should be the never-ending goal of every Christian to understand and discover the vast treasures of our Holy Bible. Today's Christian is blessed by the immense accumulation of inspired writings, authored by history's most gifted writers. This CD-ROM furthers the original effort of the editor of The Biblical Illustrator: "To preserve and present the treasure of the ages, so that the ordinary reader may be able to make himself the happy possesor of it."

• The Biblical Illustrator will help the student's money and time expenses—It is not feasible for today's Christian reader to own a library which consists of thousands of costly and hard-to-find volumes. Also, it is unfeasible to expect today's Christian to be able to read these volumes in today's busy world. The Biblical Illustrator was designed to address these limitations by allowing the Christian reader of today to have the "cream" of centuries of study and writing at their fingertips. Compiled in a "Best of" fashion, The Biblical Illustrator allows the student to build on the foundation laid by our predecessors, rather than making the student "redevelop" work that has been available for centuries.

• The Biblical Illustrator will increase the student's knowledge and the history of Christian Literature—At the end of every article, the author's name is given to allow the student to pursue further information if it is desired. Many of these articles were taken from works that are either so lengthy, costly or scarce that today's student would otherwise not be aware of their existence, and not be able to facilitate them in study.
