The Bible is a book about God, and while portions of the Old Testament look ahead to the coming of the Messiah, the New Testament presents the person and ministry of Jesus and what it means to follow Him. This inductive Bible study offers an overview of the 27 books of the NT in thirteen lessons, leading you through some of the significant teaching found in each NT book. The lessons point you to truths about God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The lessons ask you to trace the NT teaching about sin and its consequences, the gospel and salvation, and what it means to be a disciple of Christ and participate in the church as God designed.

This inductive study uses the Bible as the primary source of information and includes four dimensions: observation of the text to carefully and accurately interpret the Scriptures, while looking for eternal principles in the text to help you apply the Scriptures to the circumstances of your own life. The lessons also offer teaching on hermeneutics, to help one become a better interpreter of God’s word.

The study provides a number of options for completing the lessons. When a group is meeting weekly to discuss the lessons, each student benefits from the review discussions that are suggested in the accompanying leader’s guide.
