Whether studying the Bible for your own personal edification, preparing to lead a small group, or fulfilling pastoral duties, the content of these volumes will prove highly valuable to you.
Knowing the Bible (29 volumes)
The interactive Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through specific books of the Bible and are made up of 4 basic components:
- Reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level
- “Gospel Glimpses” highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book
- “Whole-Bible Connections” show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ
- “Theological Soundings” identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture
With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on every page of the Bible.
ESV Pastor’s Bible
A pastor depends on the wisdom of Scripture for all aspects of ministry. What truths can be relied upon in seasons of celebration and in those of sorrow? What does the Bible have to say to us about marriage, sickness, and death?
The ESV Pastor’s Bible was designed to help pastors draw wisdom from God’s Word for specific situations requiring pastoral care, such as baptisms, weddings, hospital visits, or funerals. In the front matter, back matter, and throughout the text, the ESV Pastor’s Bible contains excerpts written by pastors offering practical help for crafting a sermon, planning a special service, leading congregational prayer, conducting premarital counseling, visiting the sick, and resolving conflict within the church.
Compiled under the guidance of seasoned pastors R. Kent Hughes and Douglas Sean O’Donnell, this substantial but portable edition is a great all-in-one resource for the on-the-ground pastor.
