A Bird's-Eye View of the Bible
Williams, Mary
Bibles, Scripture & Study > Bible Study > Bible Study General
A Bird's-Eye View of the Bible is the perfect guide for beginners. It contains a wealth of information to light up the background to the great writers of the Bible.
Abraham, Moses, David and Solomon are set in their historical and theological contexts, with timelines and maps, and introductions to concept like Law and Covenant. The great prophets and poets of the Old Testament come to life against the background of their culture and their land, as they help their people to worship, fear and listen to God.
Breaking into this long history of God's interaction with people comes Jesus, and the New Testament is written to witness to God's new act.
A Bird's-Eye View of the Bible puts the New Testament in its historical and literary setting, showing the difference between Gospels and Letters, between formal theological expositions and intimate glimpses into the lives of the first Christians.

Christ in the Gospels of the Liturgical Year
Brown, Raymond E.
Bibles, Scripture & Study > Bible Study > Bible Study General
A decade after the untimely death of renowned Scripture scholar Father Raymond E. Brown, SS, he continues to inspire and inform scholars and preachers, students and pastoral ministers, lay and ordained. It was only days after Father Brown's death that his final book was published by Liturgical Press. That book, Christ in the Gospels of the Ordinary Sundays, completed his six-volume series on preaching the Scriptures, a series that had begun in the mid-1970s with the publication of his popular An Adult Christ at Christmas. Those six volumes are collected here in one convenient commemorative edition to mark the tenth anniversary of Brown's death. Brown's work is left largely untouched, and readers will find that his wisdom is lasting. Yet Brown, being a scholar's scholar, would recognize the need for some enhancement in a work being republished some thirty years after the first volume appeared.

Cover To Cover Bible Study - 2 Corinthians
Platt, Christine
Bibles, Scripture & Study > Bible Study > Bible Study General
Part of the "Cover to Cover Bible Study" series for personal and group use, this is an interesting and thought-provoking seven-week study guide on "2 Corinthians". Paul is writing out of his pastoral heart to the flourishing church in Corinth. One of the major themes of this letter is reconciliation. False apostles had denigrated Paul's reputation and enticed the Corinthian believers to doubt his sincerity, his message and even his God-given apostleship but instead of reacting with anger at these personal attacks, Paul reveals his humility and largeness of heart as he sought to build bridges of reconciliation between himself and the church, expressing his love for them and his concern over their spiritual well-being and needing to restore their confidence in him as God's apostle. We face similar challenges today but with God's mighty help we too can demonstrate God's love and forgiveness to the watching, sceptical world as we work at being reconciled to one another.

Cover To Cover Bible Study - Elijah
Brearley, Christopher
Bibles, Scripture & Study > Bible Study > Bible Study General
God sent Elijah to radically change Israel’s attitude towards false gods. And Elijah was just like us (James 5:17). His needs and reactions were typical of human nature in every generation.
His life clearly reveals not what a great person can do for God, but what God can achieve through an ordinary person who is determined to serve Him.
These seven sessions will help you to: Trust God for your material needs
Go from tragedy to triumph
Deal with fear and depression and much more.
Icebreakers, Bible readings, eye openers, discussion starters, personal application and 'seeing Jesus' sections make this a rich resource for group or individual study.

With "Psalm 51" running sequentially as a common thread through each of the six studies, providing an Old Testament complement to the "New Testament" encounters this study puts Jesus where He belongs, at the very centre of our thoughts. Each study includes an opening icebreaker, suggested prayers and discussion starters as well as the main study, making it ideal for small groups. The material requires minimal preparation by the leader.

Cover To Cover Bible Study - James
Partridge, Trevor
Bibles, Scripture & Study > Bible Study > Bible Study General
This letter to the scattered Church is a practical, "how to" book on Christian living. It pulls no punches. James "confronts", challenges and calls us to be committed to not only hearing the Word, but being doers of the Word also. James deals with the gap between belief and behaviour. There is the tendency in many Christians to hear God's Word but not put it into practice. This study will challenge you to "walk the walk not just talk the talk".

Cover To Cover Bible Study - Prepared For Purpose
Edwards, Joel
Bibles, Scripture & Study > Bible Study > Bible Study General
This lent study guide is ideal for small group study and the material requires minimal preparation required by the leader. There are six studies, each contains an integral leader's guide giving detailed background and helps, opening icebreakers, suggested prayers and discussion starters. Jesus, the Son of God, did not function from His position of deity when He was here on earth. He laid aside His deity and took up our humanity. Although He experienced our weaknesses, He was anointed by the Holy Spirit and was therefore prepared for purpose. In this Lent Study Guide, Trevor J. Partridge draws the comparison that we, too, in our frail humanity, can be prepared for purpose by the Holy Spirit. The period of Lent represents the forty days which Jesus spent in the wilderness before the commencement of His ministry. He came out declaring the words of Isaiah, that the anointing was upon Him and that He was to fulfil the purposes of God.

Cover To Cover Bible Study - Proverbs
Valerio, Ruth
Bibles, Scripture & Study > Bible Study > Bible Study General
Part of the Cover to Cover Bible Study guide series, Proverbs - Living A Life of Wisdom is written by Ruth Valerio.
The wisdom you will be learning about belongs to a loving Father God, desperate to pour out His heart to us and have a relationship with us.
This study takes us through the book of Proverbs, broken down into some of its main themes, which include the power of speech, family relationships, the call to respond to people in need, money and work. This is not a Bible book often taught in our churches - much to our detriment the author of this guide believes, for those prepared to do a little 'mining' Proverbs contains a bounty of treasures waiting to be discovered. It was written to help the people of God stay true to Him in a complicated world.

David & Bathsheba: Through Nathan's Eyes h/back
Cohen, Joel
Bibles, Scripture & Study > Bible Study > Bible Study General
The prophet Nathan is heralded for having spoken "truth to power" when he confronted King David for having slept with the wife of his soldier Uriah, the Hittite, and sent him to battle to be killed by the enemy. That this little-known prophet risked all by boldly confronting the mighty king makes this a profound story indeed. And yet, nowhere in the Bible do we find Nathan's "story"--how he summoned the strength to confront the king; how he felt about the king's conduct; and how King David reacted to him (apart from the few words describing the incident in the as described in Chapter 12 of The Second Book of Samuel). David and Bathsheba is primarily a personal, fictional view of what "may" have occurred in the exchange between Nathan and David.
