The Epistles of James, Peter, and Jude by Trina Bresser Matous

Christian Living Bible Study Series

This study takes readers through James, 1st Peter, 2nd Peter, and Jude.

Like  Paul’s Letters to the Early Church, another wonderful Bible Study by Matous, historical and Biblical background begins each new book. Each chapter contains background, overview, insights, and 2-3 discussion questions. I can see Bible Study groups easily doing one or two chapters a week, depending on discussions.

I love the author’s insights from the passages. For instance, the book of James is packed with helpful advice for Christians. Mateous describes it as “one of the most practical books in the New Testament.” She also states that “Wisdom is not the same as information.” She gives the insight that “Finding joy in the midst of trial does not negate the pain.”

Readers will find many gems throughout the book.

This study is appropriate for men’s groups and women’s groups.

This book is also a wonderful supplement for personal study.

Paul’s Letters to the Early Church

Christian Living Bible Study Series

This study takes readers through Galatians, 1st Corinthians, 2nd Corinthians, 1st Thessalonians, 2nd Thessalonians, Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1st Timothy, 2nd Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews.

Historical and Biblical background begins each new book. Each chapter contains background, overview, insights, and 2-3 discussion questions. I can see Bible Study groups easily doing one or two chapters a week, depending on discussions.

I love the author’s insights from the passages. For instance, one of my favorite New Testament chapters is Hebrews 11, which I always think of as the Faith Chapter. The author shows how each person acted out their faith. Matous also offered the insight that placing our faith in God doesn’t always bring a peaceful life.

This book is also a wonderful supplement for personal study.

If you are looking for a great book for your Bible Study group, this book will take you through several sessions—a great value!
