Expansion into Greece (Y3, Q4)

January 16, 2009 by ·

This quarter concentrates upon Paul’s second preaching tour wherein the kingdom of Christ spreads as far as the Grecian peninsula.  The study includes the historical accounts of Acts 15:36 – 18:22 and the epistles of 1 & 2 Thessalonians, written most likely by Paul from Corinth.  The epistles offer comfort and additional teaching to steady the troubled young church.

This quarter will focus upon the establishment and gradual expansion of the fledgling kingdom of Christ.  We will first study the history of Acts 1-15, then turn our attention to the book of Galatians which addresses some of the cultural stresses between Jew and Gentile as both learn to embrace a common faith and practice.

Our study now takes us through the last few months of Jesus’ earthly life, months spent in tense confrontation with Jewish leaders.  The bulk of His work has been completed, but the greatest event of all – His resurrection and glorification – is yet ahead.  More is known of Jesus’ death than any figure in ancient history.  Close attention will be given to His final week.

All foregoing Bible history and literature has anticipated one single life – that of Jesus of Nazareth.  Our next two quarters of study will survey the adult life of Jesus from His biographies (gospels).  The first quarter will cover the majority of His ministry which is centered in and around Galilee; the second will examine the last days of Jesus’ life in Perea and Judea.
