10 of those

The 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 books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components:

(1) Reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level;

(2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book;

(3) "Whole-Bible Connections" show how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and

(4) "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-centred studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God's grace on each and every page of the Bible.

The books of Ruth and Esther recount two of the most memorable stories in all of Scripture: Ruth, a displaced widow in search of a new home and loving husband, and Esther, a courageous queen intent on saving her people from imminent destruction. Plumbing the theological depths, this guide explains the biblical text with clarity and passion—leading us on a journey to discover the God who hears the cries of his people and remains faithful to his promises.

Over the course of 12 weeks, each study in this series explores a book of the Bible and:

• Asks thoughtful questions to spur discussion
• Shows how each passage unveils the gospel
• Ties the text in with the whole story of Scripture
• Illuminates the doctrines taught in each passage
• Invites you to discover practical implications
• Helps you better understand and apply God's Word
