“Study Your Bible” from the Orthodox Presbyterian Church

The Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC) was founded in 1936 in response to the changes wrought in mainstream USA Presbyterian Churches through what OPC dubs “theological liberalism” — the departure from historical Christian doctrines such as the virgin birth and the authority of scripture.

Of course, several years of work generally precede the full maturity of any movement, and that was the case with the OPC. Today, the church brings some of that history to life by offering a PDF version of  “Study Your Bible,” a  109-page booklet written in 1934 by Edward J. Young and subtitled, “A Self Study Course for Bible Believing Christians.”

If you’re interested in a straightforward approach to Bible study in the traditions that shaped our grandparents’ and great (great?) grandparents’ understanding of the word of God, this guide is hard to beat.

PDF Bible Classes from Kingdom Living 

Kingdom Living is a comprehensive blog run by Matt Dabbs, who tabs the site simply, “Reflections on life as a disciple of Jesus Christ.” That ethos shines through in everything that Matt writes, which often takes the form of Bible study tips that he publishes on a regular basis.

Nowhere is Matt’s passion for spreading the Word more evident than in a post titled, “60,000 PDF Bible Class & Small Group Downloads,” where he details the (you guessed it) nearly 60,000 PDF documents that visitors had downloaded as of October 2, 2012. Yes, more than five years ago! The mind boggles at what that number might be now.

And it’s no wonder, considering that Matt provides access to more than 900 lessons encompassing north of 3000 total pages of learning material. What a great resource for all of us trying to learn more about the Gospel, whether we’re new believers or not!
