Engaging 12-Week Study Helps Readers Better Understand and Apply God’s Word
The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) ‚Gospel Glimpses‘ highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) ‚Whole-Bible Connections‘ show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) ‚Theological Soundings‘ identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture.
In The Sermon on the Mount, Drew Hunter examines the biblical event that led to some of Jesus’s most well-known statements, including the Beatitudes. Guiding readers through Matthew 5–7 passage by passage, this guide demonstrates that the Sermon the Mount is not a disorganized collection of sayings, but a series of naturally progressing sections.
