A Brief Survey of the Bible Study Guide: Discovering the Story of the Old and New Testaments

In A Brief Survey of the Bible Study Guide, distinguished Old Testament scholar John H. Walton and renowned New Testament expert Mark L. Strauss guide adult small groups, Sunday school classes, and individual learners through an accessible, sixteen-session overview of the entire biblical narrative. Covering eight sessions on the Old Testament and eight on the New Testament, this comprehensive study synthesizes complex historical, cultural, and theological themes into a clear, cohesive story of God's redemptive covenant with humanity. Participants explore the major biblical covenants, the prophetic literature, the historical rise and fall of Israel, the revolutionary kingdom message and resurrection of Jesus, and the birth of the global church. Complete with insightful reading outlines, video discussion prompts, reflection questions, and practical life applications, this study guide provides believers with the essential biblical literacy and theological grounding needed to understand and apply God's Word with confidence.
