Bible Study

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A new version of Kathleen Nielsons acclaimed book that addresses high school students with the aim of encouraging and equipping them to engage in effective study of the Bible. The most crucial way we can prepare young people for the challenges that lie ahead is to arm them well with the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. This book lays the foundation: it explains what the Bible is, and what that means for how we should study it. Five fundamental truths are clearly presented: the Bible is God speaking; powerful; understandable; literary; one whole story. From each of these truths come practical implications for why and how we study the Bible along with concrete examples and study questions that lead students in personal application. The goal is for high school students to grow not just in a particular method but in a whole understanding of Gods Word and how to let that Word speak effectively into our lives.

The AMG Concise Bible Commentary
Author: Don Fleming
Publisher: AMG Publishers
ISBN: 9780899576732
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 616
Book Description
When People Read the Bible, they are often frustrated by the wide gap in time and culture that separates them from the original readers. The aim of the The AMG Concise Bible Commentary is to bridge the gap by providing the sort of information that ordinary readers are looking for in their search for a clearer understanding of the Bible. With a clearer understanding, the Bible becomes more relevant. The AMG Concise Bible Commentary also bridges the gap between a technical Bible commentary and the person who has little technical knowledge when it comes to understanding the Bible. The commentary is based on a firm Biblical scholarship, but the reader does not have to be a Biblical scholar to understand it. It retains its credibility as a reliable reference work, yet presents the material in an easy-to-read and non-technical style. It is simple, but not simplistic. It seeks to be true to the Biblical material, while at the same time being helpful to the reader. Book jacket.

How to be Wiser than King Solomon
Author: Stanford Erickson
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1105815862
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
How To Be Wiser Than Solomon is a biography of King Solomon. It teaches you to be wiser than Solomon. It also questions the wisdom of some modern scholars of archeology and Biblical scholars of the Old Testament, both learned Jewish scholars and learned Christian scholars. These scholars, most of whom contend that Solomon did not write Ecclesiastes, believe that the stories of David and Solomon in the Old Testament might have been a hoax by Levitical priests to maintain control over the Jewish people. How To Be Wiser Than Solomon explains that Ecclesiastes represents Solomon's wisdom "under the sun." My own poem Ecclesiastes: A Modern Sequel describes how to be wiser "above the sun." Finally, this book gives a unique insight into Solomon's classic Song of Solomon. Scholars find the poem confusing. Once you understand that Solomon abandoned his true love Abishag to marry Pharaoh's daughter, the poem on its simplest level is an account of Solomon's remorse for forsaking Abishag
