1 Timothy: Defend the Faith, A 13-Lesson Study (Jon Nielson & Philip Graham Ryken)

Description

Paul’s first pastoral letter to Timothy is full of profound teaching about the attributes and activities of God—and holds many implications for life and worship in the local church. This Reformed Expository Bible Study gives groups and individuals thirteen lessons that focus on observing and understanding the text—making connections to the rest of the Bible and to Reformed theology. Lessons close with personal application and a prayer prompt.

This Reformed Expository Bible Study is designed for personal and group use. Each lesson connects to the rest of the Bible and holds to the same standards as the Reformed Expository Commentary series: a high view of Scripture; a Christ-centered focus; a Reformed theological basis; and an emphasis on personal application and prayer.
