Author Description

WITH SIXTY-SIX BOOKS WRITTEN over more than a thousand years by multiple authors, the Bible is more like a library than a book--and because of this, many people struggle to make sense of it. Whether you are new to reading the Bible or have been reading it for years, Core Christianity's How to Read the Bible study is a great way to grow in understanding the meaning and significance of God's word for your life.At Core Christianity, we strive to help people understand the core truths of the Christian faith. Every time we answer a caller's question on our daily radio show, every article we run on corechristianity.com, and every resource we produce seeks to help people gain a clearer understanding of the gospel--the core message of Christianity.We designed this study with Sunday school classes, Bible study groups, and even individual students in mind. Students will gain a deeper understanding of how the diverse writings of Holy Scripture contribute to one grand narrative, with its climax in the person and work of Jesus Christ. This study will introduce you to the history of the Bible, key concepts that help tie the Old Testament and the New Testament into one cohesive whole, and key ideas from the main sections of the Bible. You'll finish this study more confident in your ability to read the Bible with understanding.Designed for groups to move through in ten weeks, this study is perfect for a semester or quarterly study. Each weekly lesson includes selected passages from the Bible, reflection questions, and explanations of the key themes every Christian should know about the Bible as a whole. We pray this study will allow each reader to enjoy a deeper understanding of God's word, experiencing firsthand how "all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness"so that they may be "equipped for every good work."
