Bible Study Resources
The following pages contain information to help you to
appreciate and understand the message of the Bible.
As Bible students we are often
very impressed by the quality
and the consistency of the Bible message. This may
be its internal harmony or the way the history of the bible fits so harmoniously
with the archaeological record. Another amazing witness to the truth of the Bible
is how its prophecies have come to be fulfilled, giving real authority to the message
it contains.
Christadelphians in general follow a planner to read the bible, originally put together
by
Robert Roberts some 150 years ago. There is nothing inherently special about the
plan
in it’s own right, however it is a good way to read the Bible little and often.
If you use
this plan you will read the Old Testament once and the the New Testament
twice each year.

An explanation of why we believe in the Bible.
A belief that is based on firm evidence

Undesigned Scriptural Coincidences
It’s not the big obvious details that tell you something is true, it’s the little
things,
the coincidences that no-one could have made up, the ones most people don’t
notice,
which give away the honesty of a witness. The Bible is packed with these little
almost
insignificant details and they are more evidence of the truth and the validity
of
the Bible message. Click here to view a PDF document about this.

This section is inspired by the book “Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings”. For anyone who reads the record of the Kings of Israel and Judah in 1st & 2nd Kings and 1st & 2nd Chronicles for the first time, the synchronisms and the lengths of the reigns appear to be in total confusion. In reality, once the key is found to understanding how the record was written the dates mesh with remarkable precision. Whilst both kingdoms are extant it is possible to date any event to within 6 months.
