A Heartfelt Welcome

Congratulations on deciding to take some steps toward knowing the Bible better.

To jump right in, go to the Steps page. Later, you can find the Steps page at the end of the Study Links section at the lower right of this page. If you go there now, bookmark the page for future reference.

The approach you’ll encounter in this website is both traditional and unique. The goal is to be able to think your way through both the individual books of the Bible and through the overall story of what God is doing in the world. When finished with this study you should be able to identify God’s purpose for including each book in the Bible.

The uniqueness will be found in the emphasis on taking the Bible for what it is: an inspired collection of individual books from many periods of history, in various genres, and reflecting the styles of the human authors. Your first step in approaching each individual book in the Bible will be to sit down and read or listen to the entire book before you read any notes or comments here about that particular book. This will take a couple of hours for the longest books and just a minute or two for the shortest. If you believe, as I do, that the Bible is living and active in your life, it will be time very well spent.

Few among us today can claim a full grasp of the Bible. We may be able to share the gospel message with others and be able to teach the important doctrines of the faith from the Bible. But parts of the Bible and certain books elude us. So, everyone can benefit from this study. If you are new to the Bible, welcome. If you are an old hand with God’s Book, welcome (You might be interested in some of the Advanced topics listed at right under Study Links).

Nothing is for sale here. No donations are ever requested and none will be accepted. You do not need to register or give your email address (unless you want to get in touch). There is no hidden agenda and no doctrinal hobby horse. If you want to know what the Bible means to me, see the Doctrinal Statement at right. If you appreciate what you find here, just share it freely with others.

Welcome. Now go to the Steps page and create a bookmark for it. The link is www.wordwalk.org/steps if you ever need it.
