This guide has been developed for those desiring a more in-depth study of the Bible than what is generally available today. The questions often require the student to search several Scripture references to reach a final conclusion. The authors firmly believe that there are three primary ways in which we learn and grow: (1) from the teacher (leader), (2) from the textbook (God's Word), and (3) from others (fellow students) - not necessarily in that order. While the leader can provide some insight and we can definitely learn much from the Bible, it is the life experiences and viewpoints of others that are also valuable. Therefore, some of the questions are designed to create discussion within the group. It is the hope of the authors that this study will be used to ..".build up the church, the body of Christ...so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love." (Ephesians 4:12, 16)
