The All-Sufficient Christ by Theodore Epp illuminates the spiritual truths that are packed into the book of Colossians. Often overlooked because it is relatively short, Colossians demonstrates that Christ is all a Believer needs. This course refutes false teaching and shows the Christian how to live based on sound doctrine. The student will gain a greater realization of what the Bible means when it says, “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col 1.27).

J.Vernon McGee is quoted as saying, “There is probably more content in the first chapter of Mark than any other chapter in the Bible.” Mark reveals that in spite of Jesus’ busy life, He took time to pray. This verse by verse, chapter by chapter exploration spans Mark’s recounting of the prophecies of Isaiah and Malachi through John the Baptist ending with the Resurrection of Jesus. Have you studied this, Gospel?

It is called the New Testament (or Covenant) to contrast it with the Old (or “Older”) one. “Testament” and “covenant” both translate the same Greek word (diathēkē). In the title of the Scriptures the meaning “covenant” seems preferable because the

Book constitutes a pact, alliance, or covenant between God and His people.

Both Testaments are inspired by God and therefore profitable for all Christians. But the believer in Christ is often likely to

turn to that part of the Bible that specifically tells of our Lord and His church, and how He wishes His disciples to live.

The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, equal with the Father and with the Son in the Godhead. He is not an “it” nor an undefined “spirit just floating out there”. Believers are sealed and indwelt by the Spirit, sanctified with the Spirit, and filled with the Spirit. The student will enjoy this inspiring and balanced look at the attributes and work of the Third Person of the Godhead. Theodore Epp’s research is firmly grounded in Biblical truth.

Why study Greek? The purpose of this course is to show the riches of the Greek New Testament and to provide spiritual food and help to those who study the Bible. This study demonstrates that we can discover richer meaning in Scripture from the Greek language

New Testament Survey. Although each volume is useable independent of the other, I highly recommend that at your earliest convenience you obtain the other volume, Old Testament Survey, and study it also so that you will attain the goal for which the two volumes were originally written, a complete overview of the Bible. An overview of the New Testament can be gleaned from this current volume; but, the Bible is an organic whole and you will need the companion volume to apprehend the Bible in its complete organic unity. You can build half of the skeleton framework with this current volume but a half skeleton leaves much to be desired. I would rather you had a complete one- which was the original goal for which I had striven for myself and for others who may use these books.
