Welcome to what I hope you will find to be a most enjoyable and enlightening study. This is one of the four books of the Bible known as the gospels produced by four of the men who knew Jesus best.As we consider how this book of the Bible fits into the whole of the New Testament and the Tanakh (the name used by Jews for the Old Testament, used here to emphasize the Jewishness of the Scriptures), we need to realize a number of things. We should stand in awe of this collection of 66 b...

The apostle Paul was on an 18-month tour of part of the ancient Greek Empire. He went to Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens and finally to Corinth. Along the way he was met by fanatical Jews and finally ended up in Corinth. At the time he seemed to have met with limited success, but as the letters to the believers in the fellowships he founded show us, the results of his efforts bore much fruit in the grand scheme of things. Indeed, his efforts and writings resulted in several books of ...

This short series deals with a number of what are known as the New Testament Epistles. In particular we will begin with the three Epistles of John. John, a disciple of Jesus Christ, was one of the original twelve apostles, and on a personal level, is thought to be the person Jesus knew best. He is the author of no fewer than five books of the New Testament. This amounts to 8.3% of the New and Old Testaments combined and 20% of the books of the New Testament. The books he authored include, ...

In Acts we see the harrowing exploits of Peter and Paul. The book itself was penned by a Gentile physician by the name of Luke. It is of interest to note that Paul and Luke, two of the most articulate, intelligent and highly educated men of their time, together account for 60% of the New Testament.In these pages we clearly see the coming and indwelling of the Holy Spirt as well as the explosive power and influence of the Gospel.

If you had the chance to read a letter from perhaps the most educated, intelligent, and well-read man of his time, would you do it? If that man were imprisoned, in daily danger of execution, and wanted to impart what he has learned to those he cared about, would it not be of great interest to any thinking person? And would not this be especially true if he were inspired by God himself in the construction of the letter?That is exactly what we have in the book of Philippians. Written...
