Description
(Edition 1.1)
Preface
This
book contains twenty-two individual “Scripture Studies.” Each study focuses on
one general area of study. These studies enable individuals to do in-depth,
topical studies of the Bible. They are also invaluable to the Bible study
teacher preparing lessons for Sunday School or a home Bible study. They can be
used for group studies as well.
The range of topics covered in the different studies is broad, from what the Bible teaches about itself, to what the Bible teaches about divorce and remarriage. Included in each study are hundreds of Scripture references, so there will be no lack of material from which to begin your studies.
As such, if you’re an individual looking for an aid to improve for your own personal Bible studies, or a Bible study teacher or home group leader looking for help in preparing lessons, this book will be of great benefit.
The sources for the viewpoints promoted in these Scripture Studies are wide and varied. The ideas are taken from commentaries, study Bibles, theology books, books of various kinds, and most importantly, this writer’s own personal study of the Scriptures.
The sources for the opposing views presented are publications of groups that promote the ideas and personal conversations this writer has had with members of such groups and adherents to the views.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the Scripture references in these studies. But with the thousands of references presented, it is likely a few “typos” have crept in. If the reader comes across a reference that does not make sense in the context presented, just go onto the next one. There are always plenty of verses listed for each point.
It is my hope and prayer that God uses these Scripture Studies to help the reader to:
“...be increasing in [the] grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him [be] the glory both now and to [the] day of [the] age! [fig, to eternity!] So be it!”
(2 Peter 3:18).
