“I have found myself returning to these letters time and time again because they are able to say the most profound things about God’s act of salvation in simple and memorable ways.”
Matthias Bible Guides exist to help Bible teachers of all levels engage with the word of God and prepare themselves to teach the Bible to others. This series is for the Bible study leader who wants to equip himself or herself to prepare and lead studies that are faithful to the Scriptures and to answer questions with confidence. It’s for the busy preacher who’s faced with the wonderful but daunting task of writing a new sermon series. And it’s for any interested Christian who wants a reliable companion as they read through a book of the Bible, alone or with others.
