INTRODUCTION

In preparing this set of lessons, the aim has been to let the Bible speak for itself. At the same time, I have tried to do that in a way that illustrates the fact that the true doctrine consists of what the Bible clearly and explicitly says, not what men think. To that end, I have kept my comments to a minimum and intend for them only to introduce and call attention to what the Bible says not explain it. Therefore, as you study these lessons give careful consideration to the words of Scripture, while allowing my comments to point out certain things that might otherwise go unnoticed.

God’s blessing
