Special edition of A Guide for Biblical Studies
The new special edition of A Guide for Biblical Studies is intended for small group studies this March, April, and May, but may be used at any time. It celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Committee on the Uniform Series and the International Sunday School Lessons that have formed the biblical basis of Brethren Press’s quarterly adult curriculum for more than 130 years.
Brethren Press has gathered 13 previously published Guide lessons, each by a different writer, that focus on the theme of life in Christ. This collection “mirrors the best of who we are and what we believe as the Church of the Brethren, and illustrates what’s possible when we collaborate well with other members of the body of Christ,” said an announcement.

The Circle of Paul
This Covenant Bible Studies paperback designed for small group study is written by Mary Jessup. Said a description: “We often picture the apostle Paul as a solitary figure who traveled, preached, and wrote letters alone. Reading the epistles and the book of Acts, however, we discover Paul had quite a circle of associates. In this study, we examine Paul’s relationships with Jews and Gentiles, women and men, congregations and their leaders, and those in authority. We meet travel companions, like Barnabas and Silas, and others who are less familiar. As we explore the stories of Paul, we will realize how varied and complex relationships are for all of us. We’ll understand why Paul put Jesus Christ at the center of every relationship, and why we’re called to do the same.”.
