A. Elam. This year the entire volume is devoted to a study of the first four books of the New Testament. The general aims of the book are to learn more about Jesus and his life and death for us; to learn more about the kingdom he came to estab­ lish and how to become citizens in that kingdom; and to lead all into a greater appreciation of Jesus and the church, into a richer and fuller service in the church, and into a closer fellowship and communion with Jesus and with the Father. Both teachers and students should keep these aims in view, and study and work with a fervent prayer that these ends may be accomplished. Special attention is directed to three features of the book this year. First the work is primarily a commentary on the lesson text.

  • 2 Corinthians 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on 2 Corinthians 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable HISTORICAL BACKGROUND First Corinthians did not dispel the problems in the church at Corinth completely. While it resolved some of them, opposition to the Apostle Paul persisted, and Paul's critics continued to speak out against him in the church. One man in particular seems to have been the ringleader of the opposition (10:7-11). He had rallied the support of a significant minority. The issue was Paul's apostolic authority. His critics were claiming equal authority with Paul. This was in effect a claim to apostolic authority, on their part, and or a denial of the full apostolic authority of Paul. News of continuing problems in Corinth reached Paul, in Ephesus, during his prolonged stay there on his third missionary journey. He then made a brief visit to Corinth. However, his efforts to resolve the conflicts proved unsuccessful (2:1; 12:14; 13:1-2). Paul apparently suffered insult and he lost face during that visit (7:12). Consequently, that was a painful visit for Paul. He then returned to Ephesus. Paul's next step, in dealing with the situation in Corinth, was to send a "severe letter" from Ephesus by the hand of Titus and another unnamed brother (2:3-4; 7:8-12; 12:18). He apparently directed this letter, now lost, at the party opposed to him and particularly its leader. Some commentators believe that 2 Corinthians 10—13 contains part or all of this letter, but the evidence for this is not convincing.1 Paul evidently intended to receive Titus' report, concerning the effects of this "severe letter," in Ephesus.

Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people there, so that I may come to you with joy, by God’s will, and in your company be refreshed. Romans 15:30-33 The purpose of prayer is emphatically not to bend God's will to ours, but rather to align our will to his. The promise that our prayers will be answered is conditioned on our asking “according to his will.” Consequently, every prayer we pray should be a variation on the theme, your will be done.

  • A Historical Introduction to the New Testament by Robert M
    A Historical Introduction to the New Testament by Robert M. Grant Introduction The purpose of this book is to deal with the New Testament (and other early Christian literature as reflecting the historical life of the early Christian Church. This literature was produced in this Church, by members of this Church, for the use of this Church. The Church is the primary historical reality which stands behind the literature, and without the ‘hypothesis’ of the Church the literature does not make sense. The New Testament consists of twenty-seven heterogeneous books which were written at various times and under various circumstances; some of them were accepted and used by Christians almost at once, but as a whole the collection was not universally, or almost universally accepted until the fourth or fifth century. It was the ‘mind of the Church’ which finally recognized the significance of all twenty seven books as setting forth the basic statement of what the earliest Christianity was. No other literature has anything of value to say about Christian origins and the earliest Christian movement. To be sure there are a few ‘traditions’ recorded in apocryphal writings or in the works of the Church Fathers, but their historical or theological importance is practically nil. In so far as they can be checked, they have to be checked in relation to the primary documents which the Church recognized. At the same time, the primary documents are not self-explanatory, as Christians have recognized since very early times. In our present collection we find four gospels, a book of Acts, fourteen letters ascribed (with varying degrees of plausibility) to the apostle Paul, seven general or catholic letters, and a book of Revelation.
