When Dr. David Jeremiah prepares a sermon or teaching, at the forefront of his mind is helping people understand what the Bible says, what it meant to the people at the time it was written, and what is means to us today. The Jeremiah Bible Study Series captures Dr. Jeremiah's forty years of teaching employing this approach and will lead readers through each book of the New Testament, one chapter at a time. Along the way, readers will gain insights into the text, identify the key stories and themes, and be challenged to correctly apply the truths and meanings they find to their own lives.
