Studies on Books of the Bible.
The links below access interpretative studies on books of the New Testament. Some of these Studies are still under development. All of these Book Studies have the book divided by punctuation within sentence structure. All notes are based upon analyzing the sentence within the context of the chapter and the context of the book and all of the Bible; then analysis of the structure of the sentence as controlled by Biblical use of punctuation is considered along with how it affects the true interpretation; then analysis and use of the Biblical definition of the words within the sentence are applied to arrive at the true interpretation of each sentence. Just in case someone failed to notice, interpretation by verse is not used as it is disobedience to the direct command of God and since interpretation by verse leads to a lot of the doctrinal error which is taught.
The completed Book Studies present an outline of what the book actually says with no regard for the religious doctrine of any specific religion. (While I am a Baptist, the Baptist people have a real problem with my showing where their doctrine disagrees with what the Bible literally says.) In addition, there is very little in the way of how to apply these truths to our own lives or the lives of others. There is a deliberate attempt to limit what is presented to the interpretation. However, when the Bible is giving an application then that application is dealt with. In addition, some non-specific application and some real-life examples are included to aid understanding. These are not intended to be used to tell others how to apply the word of God within their own life. With that said, there age many outlines, Word Studies and other things which can be used by preachers for the basis of messages.
Most other Bible web sites concentrate upon the application of verses with a far less strict method of interpretation. As a result, those authors and sites skip verses or claim that there are 'problem verses' when their incomplete method of interpretation produces a problem result. There are NO 'problem verses', if a proper method of analysis is used, as this site shows.
In addition, to presenting a basic study of the book, these studies also provide links to other studies (such as word studies) where those studies intersect with the book that is being dealt with.
The Studies on the Gospels, Acts and Revelation are still under construction.
- Study on Psalms 1.
- Study on Psalms 23.
- Study on Psalms 119: (under construction).
- Study on Proverbs 9
In addition, to the detailed Studies, reached with the links above, there are 'Teaching' documents in PDF format. These have the summaries from the detailed Studies along with Questions and Answers (usually 10 per chapter), which are designed to help teach the doctrine of the Bible book. There are also Questions pages which can be printed out and copied to use as quizzes for your class.
In the table below are links to PDF formatted books that can be used to teach individual books of the New Testament. In this paragraph are links to books, which are sold on Amazon.com, which are combinations of the books in the table below. Teaching Pauline Epistles covers all of the Pauline Epistles except Romans, which is covered by Teaching Romans. Hebrews was not signed by Paul and, therefore according to the Bible, was not written by Paul. Teaching The General Epistles covers all of the rest of the epistles, including Hebrews. Thus, these three books cover all of there epistles.
Pretty much everything on this site deals with the single interpretation of scripture. (There is only one interpretation but many applications.) However, I have written a few books on the application of scripture and copies are available at the following links:
