Bible study for today's ministry and mission

Guidelines is a unique Bible reading resource that offers four months of in-depth study, drawing on insights of current scholarship. Its intention is to enable all its readers to interpret and apply biblical text with confidence in today's world. Instead of dated daily readings, Guidelines provides weekly units, broken into six sections, plus an introduction and a final section of points for thought and prayer.
