OT56 Major Prophets II (5) [Jer., Lam., Ezek., Dan.] Jeremiah and Lamentations, Irving Jensen Ezekiel, Ralph Alexander Daniel, John C. Whitcomb This course analyzes the life and ministry of the Prophet as well as his prophecies.

The church had become infected with the evils surrounding it in a wicked and sensually unbridled city. The letters were primarily written to purify the church from partyism and immorality through a cleansing of the church from false conceptions of the ministry, intellectual pride, social evils and other disorders. This cleansing is aided by doctrinal instructions, and practical advice advanced by Paul, the writer. The study reveals that Paul apparently had an indication of his apostleship in mind as he expounds extensively on his own ministry. One of the most personal of all Paul's epistles. NT32 Thessalonians (3) The Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians, Charles Erdman First and Second Thessalonians, Charles Ryrie Studies the condemnations, personal reminiscences, counsels, and exhortations written by Paul to the church at Thessalonica after Timothy's return from visiting it.

This study of Christ continues to the time of His transfiguration. NT52 Gospels II (4) Christ of the Gospels, J.W. Shepherd Covers the life of Christ from His transfiguration to His death, resurrection and ascension back into Heaven. The Gospels contain every principle and philosophy for successful human living.
