Books for Bible Study Hi All, Geocities has announced they will be closing down this service. I have a copy of this site at www.syndein.com Please start getting used to that website. Soon it will be all there is! To Him be the glory, Joshua. The so-called "New Testament" is where the majority of the Church Age doctrine is taught. Much of the meaning of the epistles was lost in the translation from the original manuscripts and this now requires readers to study deeply the meaning of each epistle in the context of the time in which it was written. We have decided to group the epistles by human author and provided an approximate date each may have been written. The gospels of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ come next. Finally, the Old Testment books are grouped by the Jewish groupings. AID: Search Technique - Instructions on how to find a word or phrase within the Study Guide Books.
