The following are notes that I have prepared from
my own study of the Scriptures. I distribute them to my students
in my Bible classes at Dallas Theological Seminary and have done
so for many years. I have also made some of them available to
the people in my church. They provide more information than a
study Bible, but they are less technical than many commentaries.
These are working documents. As you will notice, they each have
a year edition number. I am constantly upgrading, adding to, and
changing these notes. Whenever I teach a class and distribute
them, I print out the most current edition and name it for the
year in which I teach the class. So the edition year indicates
the last time I taught the book using the notes.
I offer these notes to anyone who is interested in understanding
the Bible better. They are not perfect, as I am not. They reflect
my present level of understanding. As new editions become available,
I will replace the older ones. You may print them or simply read
them off the screen. Feel free to duplicate paper copies for distribution
to other people. Please do not change them and then distribute
them as my work. They are copyrighted.
In addition to the notes, you may also access my expositions
of several Bible books that I have delivered to my adult Sunday
school class over several years. Samples of the series can be
monitored at
this site. The series are available for purchase from
this site.
