Each passage is explored in three parts:

• Original Meaning explains the text in its historical and literary context.
• Bridging Contexts shows what still resonates across time.
• Contemporary Significance offers thoughtful guidance on applying the passage to real-life situations now.

Whether you’re preaching, teaching, or studying, this award-winning series equips you with clear insights and practical tools to share God’s Word with clarity and relevance—just as it spoke powerfully when first written.
