Don’t forget—our How to Understand the Bible lesson series begins in just a few days!

If you wish you understood the Bible better (and that covers just about everyone, whether they’re brand-new to the Bible or have been reading it for decades) How to Understand the Bible is a series of practical, weekly guides to getting more out of your Bible reading.

We’ve been talking about this series quite a bit (see our overview of the series, and an interview with the series host and author Mel Lawrenz) because we think it offers something genuinely new and useful to almost any reader of the Bible.

If you know little or nothing about the Bible, but are curious to learn what the Bible might hold for you, “How to Understand the Bible” is an easy and encouraging starting point.

If you’re a Christian with some familiarity with the Bible, but confused by parts of the Bible or haunted by the sense that your Scripture reading could be more exciting and engaging than it is, these lessons will help you to look at those familiar Bible passages with fresh eyes.

If you’re a pastor, Bible study organizer, or hold some other official or unofficial leadership position in your church, these lessons would make a great starting point for group discussion, and would nicely complement an existing Bible study. If you’d like to increase biblical literacy in your congregation, this is a practical way to move toward that goal.

However you would describe your relationship to the Bible, you can always draw closer and deeper into God’s Word. We hope How to Understand the Bible will help. It’s free and it starts next week, so sign up today!
