The apostle Paul was on an 18-month tour of part of the ancient Greek Empire. He went to Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens and finally to Corinth. Along the way he was met by fanatical Jews and finally ended up in Corinth. At the time he seemed to have met with limited success, but as the letters to the believers in the fellowships he founded show us, the results of his efforts bore much fruit in the grand scheme of things. Indeed, his efforts and writings resulted in several books of the New Testament. In this volume we examine in detail part of what he recorded and we know as First Corinthians. Herein we find lessons for much of life today extracted from the very Word of God.
Gordon Haresign, internationally known author, professor, speaker, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Scripture Union, speaking about the Dynamic Bible Studies series produced by Scheeren, has said, "These are among the finest, if not the finest, inductive Bible studies available today. I strongly endorse them."
This sentiment was echoed by Dr. Dilo Paul, a materials scientist, who said, "I love these studies as they guide me through finding the answers to questions that arise during Bible study from the Bible itself."
Dr. Richard Freeman, Vice President of Chosen People Ministries, said, "I have found Fred Scheeren's Bible study material to be quite thorough as well as extremely insightful. I have used it as a resource myself in preparing Bible studies for group study and for my own personal study of the Bible. I recommend it highly to others."
Steve White, Ph.D., author and International Director of 21C International, said, "Fred hits a great blend of commentary, historical context, and practical application. The study questions are clear, thought-provoking and relevant. I could easily recommend this for either individual or group study."
Robert T. Mason, former executive at an international firm and in his second career as a pastor said, "Fred has done it again!! He has a great way of opening up and explaining the Word of God."
