DISCIPLE I - Study Manual - eBook

DISCIPLE is a program of disciplined Bible study aimed at developing strong Christian leaders.

The

study gives the Old and New Testaments equal time, emphasizing the

wholeness of the Bible as a revelation of God. DISCIPLE draws upon the

work of scholars, the personal Bible reading and study of the

participant, and dynamic group discussion to aid understanding of the

Bible.

The first study in the program is DISCIPLE: BECOMING

DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY, a thirty-four week overview of the entire

Bible.

Commitment and Time Involved

Three

and one-half to four hours of independent study each week (40 minutes

daily for leaders and 30 minutes daily for group members) in preparation

for weekly group meetings.

Attendance at weekly 2.5 hour meetings.

Study Manual

Each

member of the group needs a study manual and a Bible. The Bible is the

text for the study and the study manual will guide group members in

their study and preparation for the weekly group session. The study

manual also includes suggestions for individual and study-related

activities. Space is provided for taking notes while reading Scripture,

for recording thoughts and questions arising out of daily study, and for

notes during the weekly group session.

The titles of the

sessions along with theme words and theme verses, and major persons,

events, and topics will set the sequence of the biblical story in the

minds of the participants. The principal Scripture for each session

follows the chronological movement of the biblical story.
