Originally I had expected Lesson 1 of this study quarter to deal with the subject of the Bible being the Word of God. The lesson touched on this subject from a number of different directions but did not seem to stick to a logical approach. I was expecting something more along the lines of the traditional SDA study guides that begin by establishing the Bible as the unquestionable Word of God. This would have been a direction I would have leaned towards if I had been preparing a lesson plan.

Following is a list of Bible text I have used in preparing a study centered around the subject of "The Bible, the Word of God."

Bible

KJV 1 Thessalonians 2:13
