FOREWORD
Dear Reader:
Shepherd's Notes are designed to give you a quick, step-by-step overview of every book of the Bible. They are not meant to be substitutes for the biblical text; rather, they are study guides intended to help you explore the wisdom of Scripture in personal or group study and to apply that wisdom successfully in your own life.
Shepherd's Notes guide you through the main themes of each book of the Bible and illuminate fascinating details through appropriate commentary and reference notes. Historical and cultural background information brings the Bible into sharper focus.
Six different icons, used throughout the series, call your attention to historical-cultural information, Old Testament and New Testament references, word pictures, unit summaries, and personal application for everyday life.
Whether you are a novice or a veteran at Bible study, I believe you will find Shepherd's Notes a resource that will take you to a new level in your mining and applying the riches of Scripture.
In Him,
David R. Shepherd
Editor-in-Chief
