Book Description
The New Testament Scriptures will never be properly understood by a person if the Old Testament Scriptures essentially remain a mystery to him,' says Paul Benware.Most Christians do not have a clear understanding of the pattern, unity, or progression of the Old Testament. They can tell stories of Moses, Noah, and David but aren't sure how all these events fit together. And they don't fully appreciate the doctrines found in the thirty-nine books between Genesis and Malachi.But the Old Testament does not have to be mysterious or confusing. Newly revised, Dr. Benware offers a chronological approach to give you a bird's-eye view of the historic value of the Old Testament, while his book-by-book analysis reveals important details and emphases.If you want a better understanding of the whole Bible, Survey of the Old Testament is the place to start.

An Introduction to the Old Testament Prophetic Books
Author: C. Hassell Bullock
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 157567436X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
The Old Testament prophets spoke to Israel in times of historical and moral crisis. They saw themselves as being a part of a story that God was weaving throughout history--a story of repentance, encouragement, and a coming Messiah. In this updated introductory book, each major and minor prophet and his writing are clustered with the major historical events of their time. Our generational distance from the age of the prophets might seem to be a measureless chasm. Yet we dare not make the mistake of assuming that passing years have rendered irrelevant not only the Old Testament prophets, but also the God who comprehends, spans, and transcends all time. In these pages, C. Hassell Bullock presents a clear picture of some of history's most profound spokesmen--the Old Testament prophets--and the God who shaped them.

The Biblical Path of Life
Author: M. J. Ross
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973620804
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 614
Book Description
The Biblical Path of Life is a study designed to help anyone understand how simply yet intricately the Bible is put together. It is a study for: an individual, a family, a small-group Bible study, or a Sunday School program for all ages. The Bible is the most important thing we can know, and it specifically reveals what God expects from His people. But many can find the Bible difficult to read or understand. Yet in order to know how to live a Christian life that is pleasing to God, we must first understand what His Word says. The Biblical Path of Life Volume 1 is: year one of a three-year study going completely through the Bible Begins with an overview of the Old Testament It is a simple, historical, chronological journey through the Bible It compares Scripture to Scripture The lessons reveal Jesus and how the Bible is applicable to everyday life Learn foundational truths that God showed his people from the beginning of timetruths that you will see echoed and fulfilled by the familiar word of the New Testament. And with these principles of the Bible, you can apply them to your own Christian life and become more like Jesus. M. J. Ross taught the Bible for many years and learned that there were many people who didnt understand Gods Word. This realization was the basis for The Biblical Path of Life. After using this study to teach the Bible, many hearts and lives were changed because of the understanding of how the Bible fits together with a purpose to reveal Jesus. M. J. Ross currently lives in Oklahoma. The Biblical Path of Life is a wonderful resource for anyone who wants to understand or to teach the Bible. Its format makes it easy to know the message of each book of the Bible and how that book fits into the overall theme of scripture. It is without reservation that I recommend this resource for use in any Bible Study setting, particularly in Sunday school and discipleship training. ~ Pastor John Wylie, Rehoboth Baptist Church, Claremore, OK I now understand how the Bible fits together! I have studied through the Bible using this curriculum four times and each time I come to a deeper understanding of the scriptures! ~Mary, Oklahoma This 3-year Bible Study program is a breath of fresh air amidst the typical swirl of Bible stories lacking connection to Gods Word as a whole. My own daughters ages 14 and 12 have gone through the Bible from cover to cover three times (using The Biblical Path of Life). Going through the entire Bible has helped me get out of reading my favorite passages over and over. And now I understand my favorite passages so much better because I understand more how it all connects We see the Lord Jesus everywhere in the Bible! ~Jody, Oklahoma Having grown up in church, traveled, and taught in different churches, I have taught from several different Sunday School curriculums. The Biblical Path of Life has by far been the most in depth and chronologically on track curriculum I have learned and taught from. There is far more knowledge in the material per lesson than any other curriculum I have used. The whole curriculum is Christ centered, a program of study, and simple to use. Designed for the teacher and student to absorb and learn from and is extremely recommended.~ Justin, Oklahoma You will find in this series of Biblical studies the most conservative, literal, deeply foundational truths of the Holy Bible. Our church, Rehoboth Baptist of Claremore, OK has used The Biblical Path of Life studies for the past twelve years for our children and for our Adults for the past seven years bringing our Bible Study program into a Family Bible study for the whole church. I highly recommend this study to bring your Bible Study program together as a family in unity. ~ Wayne Keely, Pastor
