Books of the Bible
Mouse over any book of the New Testament to link to its lesson series.
Matthew - The first of the Gospels, it was written by a
man who had taken good shorthand notes. Source of many
familiar quotations, especially the Sermon on the Mount.
Mark -
The Gospel which presents
our Lord in short phrases and actions, so suited to the hurried
minds of our time.
Luke -
The Gospel of careful
research; the scholar writing a careful and orderly account.
John -
The Gospel by the disciple
whom Jesus loved.
Acts -
The follow-on study to the
Life of Christ series. It's rather a lengthy one - but then
again, St. Luke didn't exactly condense the book of Acts either.
Romans -
The closest thing that any
of the Apostles ever wrote to a theology textbook, it is the best
exposition of grace. The study is rather detailed. The
section on Romans 14 may surprise you.
1st Corinthians -
The corrective letter of Paul to one of his favorite churches.
2nd Corinthians -
The second letter to the church that lived in a culture very much
like ours today.
Galatians -
A letter to a church in
need of guidance
Ephesians -
The Queen of the Epistles,
as the older scholars called it.
Philippians -
Did you ever write a letter
to an old friend? This is Paul's letter to his favorite
church.
Colossians -
A letter to experienced
Christians.
1 Thessalonians -
Letter to a church well loved by Paul
2 Thessalonians -
Correcting false teaching about the Day of the Lord
First Timothy -
This is a letter from an
old man, pouring into his young son in the faith that which he knows
to be of greatest importance to a leader in the church.
Second Timothy
- Paul's farewell letter to his apprentice.
Titus
Philemon
-
At one lesson, it is much
too short. But it is the letter which drips of
Christian courtesy.
Hebrews -
The link between the Old
Testament and the New Testament.
James -
The Proverbs of the New
Testament
1st Peter -
The fiery workingman of the
New Testament.
2nd Peter -
Warning against heresies to
come.
1st John -
The love letter of an old
man, deeply in love with his Lord
2nd John -
A string of pearls, much
neglected.
3rd John -
Short, dealing with a solid
Christian and an ambitious one.
Jude -
A stern warning from the
brother of our Lord, very similar to 2nd Peter. Often
ignored today, it is another warning concerning false leaders
and teachers in the church.
Revelation -
Some caution must be
advised on this one. A "theological" caution first - this
study presents all three of the major views on Revelation, and
selects none of them (or any other). If your mind is already made
up, don't bother. A "technical" caution next - the work was
originally created in PowerPoint, and is therefore very graphics
intense. If you do not have a high speed connection, this may
tax your patience.
Old Testament
Ezra & Nehemiah
-
The story of the second Exodus; the
return to Jerusalem, the rebuilding of the Temple and city walls.
Esther -
The only book in the Bible
which does not mention the name "God," it has no miracles - but is a
great lesson in the providence of God.
Ruth -
A love story - between a
man and a woman. A love story which foreshadows the love
between Christ the Kinsman-Redeemer and his bride, the church.
Psalms
Ecclesiastes
- to everything there is a
season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.
Daniel -The key to prophecy.
Yes, we have a lesson in the lion's den.
Jonah -
The fish story of the Old
Testament - and still worth the time.
Micah 6:8 -
What does the Lord require
of thee?
