Can Christians lose their salvation? Are there such things as guardian angels? Can those in heaven see the happenings on earth? How were the Old Testament saints saved since Jesus hadn't been born yet? Jesus said to the thief on the cross, "Today you shall be with me in paradise," but he wasn't raised from the dead until three days later and didn't ascend into heaven until many days after that-did Jesus lie? Using an in-depth study of the book of Hebrews, Dr. Jory explores answers from the Bible for these and a host of other questions about God and the Christian faith.
Biblical commentaries come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of detail and complexity. Dr. Jory's approach is to ratchet down the complexity. It seeks to present material with these questions always in focus: What would I want to learn from the Bible? How would I want it to be taught to me?
The material is presented in short lessons structured to be covered over a forty-day period and is geared for both individual and small-group Bible studies.
