IntroductionThese doctrinal studies are
presented in outline format only. Each verse is presented along
with a brief statement of what to look for in the verse. The
intention is that the reader will diligently look up each verse and
come to an understanding of what the Bible teaches on each subject.
The
original work these studies were derived from was developed by
missionary friends of the church, including Bill Kincaid and Michael
Jackson (Workmans Study Bible), and Brent Riggs. Please be sure to visit their pages.
