"The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach, until the day in which he was received up."

The book of Acts opens with these words reminding us that this book is the sequel to Luke's Gospel. Overlapping briefly with the Gospel, it starts with the ascension of Jesus Christ, records some events in life the of the early church, including the conversion of Paul on the road to Damascus, and covers his missionary journeys. It concludes with Paul's imprisonment in Rome.

This category is for Bible studies on the book of Acts.

This letter of Paul talks of the riches of Christ's blessings, the wonders of God's grace, and how His purpose is to bring together people from all nations in one universal church. The city of Ephesus was an important center for early Christianity and was located in Asia Minor. Significant archaeological ruins of this ancient city remain to this day.

Galatians is a letter written by Paul "to the churches in Galatia." Galatia was a Roman Province in central Asia Minor. In this letter, Paul teaches freedom from the Law in Christ. He declares that it is by faith that those who believe are redeemed. This category is for Bible studies in the Book of Galatians.
The gospel of John stands apart from the other gospels. The gospel according to John contains fewer of the details of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ than the other gospels do, focusing in greater depth on selected stories from the life of Jesus. Written by John, the apostle, it seeks to prove that Jesus was the Christ, the promised Messiah, and the Son of God. His message was for both the Jews and Gentiles. John is well known for its seven signs - seven miracles which testify who Jesus is. It also contains seven "I am" statements such as "I am" the bread of life, the light of the world, or the good Shepherd. This category is for sites with Bible studies on the Gospel of John.
Luke is one of the synoptic gospels. It was written by Luke and it starts with the foretelling of the birth of John the Baptist. It records the appearance of Gabriel to Mary, the birth of Jesus, the angels appearing to the shepherds, Jesus' dedication in the temple, and his trip to Jerusalem when he was twelve. Luke records Jesus ministry with a special emphasis on the parables he told, and the many healings he performed. Luke's gospel is seen by many as the "social gospel" as it shows how Jesus ministered to the poor, the needy, the "sinners", and those on the fringe of society. Development of this theme is referred to as the "great reversal," whereby God is setting things right by overturning the rich and powerful while empowering the poor and downtrodden. The gospel according to Luke concludes with the ascension. Luke also wrote the book of Acts which starts with the ascension and continues with the history of the early church. This category is for Bible studies on the book of Luke.
Mark is the second book in the New Testament, and one of the synoptic gospels. Church tradition ascribes it to John Mark, who was not one of the twelve, but who did work with Paul, and was a friend of the apostle Peter. The gospel according to Mark was written by a Jew who was very conscious of the fact that what he wrote would be read by Gentiles as well as Jews. He does not assume that his readers are well informed on Jewish culture, and explains Jewish terms as he uses them. Mark does not record the birth of Jesus Christ. His gospel starts with Jesus' baptism and his going into the wilderness. He records Jesus ministry, death, and resurrection. It is a short, action-packed gospel with an emphasis on Jesus' miracles and his life of suffering, written to deepen the faith and commitment of the church. Mark is the shortest gospel, and many think it to be the earliest. This category is for Bible studies on the book of Mark.
Matthew is the first book of the New Testament and one of the four gospels. According to church tradition, it was written by Matthew, one of the twelve, a Jew, and former tax collector. The gospel starts with the genealogy of Jesus, the birth, the dreams of Joseph, and the visit of the wise men. It records the ministry of Jesus and ends with the great commission. The gospel according to Matthew contains many references to the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. It is a book written from the Jewish perspective primarily for a Jewish audience to tell them that the Messiah has come. It also has a strong emphasis on Jesus' teaching. The Sermon on the Mount and the beatitudes are possibly the most studied part of this gospel. This category is for Bible studies on the book of Matthew.
This is the last book of the New Testament. It was written by the Apostle John while he was in exile on the island of Patmos.

This category is for Bible studies on the book of Revelation.
In this letter to the Romans Paul explains salvation and Christian living. This category is for Bible studies on the book of Romans or a significant portion of it.
