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 Student's Guide to the Gospels
Author: James M. Reese
Publisher: Liturgical Press
ISBN: 9780814656891
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
The Gospels are not only the foundation of the New Testament, they are also integral to the celebration of the Eucharist. Because the Gospels embody the whole Christian tradition, every Christian seeking to be a student of Christ should be a student of the Gospels. This work provides that opportunity for all Christians, whether in classrooms, study groups, prayer groups, or in individual study, to come to know Christ by coming to know the Gospels. The first three chapters address the literary, structural, and rhetorical principles underlying the Synoptic Gospels. The remaining chapters encourage readers to dialogue with the Gospels in three ways: 1) by explaining the structure and theology of each Synoptic Gospel, 2) by devoting attention to the four outstanding features of the Gospels parables, miracles, the passion narratives, and the resurrection accounts, and 3) by introducing the readers to the special features of John's Gospel. This flexible textbook's approach allows beginning students to encounter the Jesus of the Gospels on their own terms, to make their new knowledge personal and practical.

Jesus in the Gospels
Author: Winkley Professor Emeritus of Biblical Theology Leander E Keck
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 068702692X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 593
Book Description
Study Manual content illuminates some aspect of the Jesus in the Gospels each week and connects Scripture to daily life and Jesus' call to discipleship. The overarching aim is to deepen discipleship through better understanding of the biblical texts and their message. The study helps group members understand that Jesus is rooted in Judaism and the Scriptures of Judaism and that Christianity and the New Testament are rooted in the Scriptures of Judaism--our Old Testament. The Study Manual guides daily study and preparation for the weekly group meeting. The main elements in the format are designated by scriptural phrases: "They have no wine" (John 2:3) is a brief statement about the human condition and alerts the reader to some aspect of daily life that Scripture can shed light on. "Beginning with Moses and all the prophets" (Luke 24:27) is a way of referring to Scripture as a whole and signals the fact that we can understand Jesus in the Gospels better by understanding the Old Testament better. "Do you want to become his disciples, too?" (John 9:27, New International Version) is designed to stimulate thoughtful reflection so readers can come to their own conclusions about what their own discipleship calls for. Accompanying each day's Scripture reading assignments are suggestions of things to look for that take the reader deeper into Scripture. As readers become aware of detail in Scripture, they might ask themselves repeatedly, What am I to make of this? The study manual provides space for writing notes on insights, observations, and questions related to the Scripture, and for putting into words personal perceptions of Jesus from the week's Scripture.
