Hi, welcome to the Bible Page!

There is no other book like the Bible. Its pages contain God breathed eternal truth that serves as a road map for Christian living and leads to eternal life. Benjamin Franklin once said, “A man should be a jack of all trades and a master of one.” I truly believe every Christian needs to be a master of the scriptures. I feel quite certain this course of study will help you to gain a useful grasp of God’s Word and will serve as a solid foundation for further and deeper investigation.

What you will find here is an ongoing study that surveys the entire Bible. This study will include an overview of the Bible as a whole, (The Old Testament and The New Testament), each of its sixty-six books individually, as well as a section on the Inter-Testament period (The four hundred years between, Malachi, the last book of the Old Testament and Matthew, the first book of the New Testament). The installment on each book will include an outline, a disclosure of the contents, an analysis, and some practical applications.

In order to create this study I have collected, compiled and edited information from some of the finest study rescores avaible (see credits below) all of which I recommend for your personal use.

As you embark on this journey through the Holy writ there is a verse of scripture I would like you to keep in mind. It is found in Second Timothy 2:15:

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

This is a very important statement, and should be carefully considered, because it is only when we know the truth and we are careful to live according to its principals that we can truly please God.

Come along and enjoy this wonderful journey, and may God Bless you as you are faithful to Him.

Tom

BIBLE STUDY LESSONS

BIBLE STUDY – LESSON ONE: The Bible as a Whole | Lesson One – PDF File

CLICK HERE Our Bible consists of sixty-six component parts (or books). These are divided into two distinctive major collections, the Old Covenant Scriptures and the New Covenant Scriptures, or as we commonly know them, the Old and New Testaments. Each of these two testaments, the Old, consisting of thirty-nine books and the New, with twenty-seven, are found to be arranged in certain clearly homogeneous groups (or groups which are alike in nature). Careful investigation of these groups reveals the presence of a marvelous Divine design running through the whole. The books of the Bible are not simply a collection of writings. They are one book, one in the progressiveness of the revelation which they collectively unfold, one in the harmony of the structure which they collectively constitute, and one in the spiritual unity of the message which they collectively declare.
