<\/a><\/p>\nWhat you get:<\/strong> Upon opening the book this is the general table of contents with information about each chapter from the introduction:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A look at the individual chapters:<\/strong><\/p>\n The chapters are set up in a consistent, and easy to follow pattern. Each chapter begins with the title, passage to read, and Setting the Stage<\/i>. Here, the reader is provided the theme of the chapter, information about the literary context, and background into the history and culture.<\/p>\n The second chapter section is A Closer Look, <\/i>helping the reader understand the story.<\/p>\n The third chapter section is Throughout the Bible,<\/i> demonstrating that this isn\u2019t just a story to be forgotten, both the Old and the New Testaments are built upon this story.<\/p>\n The fourth chapter section is Beyond the Bible,<\/i> filling in the gap between the story and history by answering questions such as, who else has used this story, how did they understand it, etc.<\/p>\n Final there is an Application<\/i>, bridging the gap from this ancient individual to our lives.<\/p>\n Interspersed throughout the chapter are \u201cQuick Bits\u201d and \u201cQuick Tips\u201d helping the reader get the most out of their study.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Positives: <\/strong><\/p>\n The Logos format makes it easy to navigate<\/p>\n The infographs are visually appealing and helpful<\/p>\n The consistent chapters allow the reader to get accustomed to thinking in a pattern and then branching out in study on their own<\/p>\n The Bibliography is helpful for further study<\/p>\n The questions throughout help the reader remember that this is not merely a mental exercise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What this resource is not:<\/strong><\/p>\n A replacement for one\u2019s own personal a study. It is a great tool.<\/p>\n A full commentary. It is more similar to the Opening Up series of studies which are helpful for asking questions and application.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What I would like:<\/strong><\/p>\n More links like the Faithlife Study Bible to books, articles, graphs, maps, etc. that one can purchase while studying.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Where I plan on using this:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Overall:<\/strong><\/p>\n Helpful resource for personal and small group Bible study. Logos is providing some quality material on a great platform. I believe this study will encourage many in their Christian walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Grigoni, Michael R., Miles Custis, Douglas Mangum, and Matthew M. Whitehead.
