New and Improved Yale Bible Study Resources!
In order to better support your Biblical studies, we have updated the Yale Bible Studies with new features!
- If you are planning to lead one of the Bible studies, we have included an “Instructions for Facilitators” section that can help you prepare.
- Whether you are studying on your own or with a group, we’ve updated the “Discussion Questions” sections to include guiding questions to help you both interpret the text and apply the text in today’s world. And we’ve added a handy PDF of the questions that you can download.
The lectionary for the fall focuses on the following books of the Bible. Why not start with these? Either on your own or in a small group!
Exodus
Psalms
Gospel of Matthew
