Description
Book SynopsisHow to Read the Bible through the Jesus Lens connects each of the sixty-six books of the Bible to the person and work of Jesus Christ, setting readers on a path toward purposeful, independent reading and application of the entire Bible.
Table of ContentsCovers 66 books of the Bible following this structure for each book: Introduction A brief (2–3 pp.) description of the focus of the book, its methodology, and the reason such a book is necessary. [E.g. Genesis] * Theme of the book * Brief background and significant details that substantiate the theme * Christ-focus (how the theme of the book ultimately finds its focus in Christ) * Application of the theme to life today Since the theme finds its focus in Christ and believers are being conformed to the likeness of Christ, then the theme of the book logically has implications for believers today. This section therefore gives brief, clear insights into the continuing relevance of the book to contemporary life. * Hook questions These are questions that enable the minister or evangelical Christian to see how the main theme of the book has importance for contemporary life, and to lead others to see that connection as well. * Memory passage This is a key verse or two from the book itself that summarize the theme of the entire book. Memory cards with the books’ themes and verses are also available as companion products. Summary Conclusion At the end of the book, the key theme, Christ-focus, application, and hook questions for each book are provided in a convenient summary chart.
