"A tremendous resource for those wanting to study and teach the Bible
with an understanding of how the gospel is woven throughout Scripture."
--Bryan Chapell, Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church
The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible
readers better understand and apply God's Word.
These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and
are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help
readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses"
highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) "Whole-Bible
Connections" show how any given passage connects to the Bible's
overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4)
"Theological Soundings" identify how historic orthodox doctrines are
taught or reinforced throughout Scripture.
With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church
leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and
cherish the message of God's grace on every page of the Bible.
The books of Ruth and Esther recount two of the most moving stories in
all of Scripture: Ruth, a displaced widow in search of a new home and
loving husband, and Esther, a courageous queen intent on saving her
people from imminent destruction.
This guide explains the biblical text with clarity and passion--leading
us on a journey to discover the God who hears the cries of his people
and remains faithful to his promises.
