Have you ever wondered why there are 66 books in the Bible but few Christians have ever studied all the books no matter how long they have been believers?
This is because we tend to read the Bible thematically rather than as a whole. We also tend to study the Bible in isolation - by ourselves.
Now what if there is a program where the entire church and all your friends from anywhere in the world can follow, in which all 66 books are studied systematically during a 3 year period? What if on each given month, everyone in that program is working on the same selection of readings? Would that not foster true spiritual community? Project Timothy is just such a program.
PT is a program for a community to study the Bible at a level much deeper than regular Bible study groups. While the revelation of God is specially given to us in the witness of the Scriptures, God has not been silent elsewhere. God invites us to understand what can be known about God by observing the things He has made through fields of human inquiry such as the natural sciences, philosophy, mathematics, music, literature, art, history, geology, archaeology, sociology etc.
PT takes its participants systematically through the Bible in 5-session semesters, typically from Jan-May and Aug-Dec each year. The curriculum is designed by apologist and theologian, Ron Choong.
The goal in PT is to disciple and stretch the Christian mind. Through the close reading of the Bible as a devotional exercise and an important form of worship we invite men and women to develop a responsible apologetic, a spirit of intellectual charity, a heart for evangelism and missions, as well as a deep interest in discipleship of others.
Purchase the PT Guide to the New Testament in either hardcover ($33) or softcover ($25)
6 X 9 inches, 296 pages
This is Project Timothy's Guide to the New Testament. Each book of the NT is introduced according to the chronology of its publication. So we start with the Epistle of James. It covers the different genres of writing and features biblical exegesis and hermeneutics in engagement with archaeology, the sciences, philosophy and historiography. This is an ideal book for Christians and unbelievers who seek a no nonsense examination of the New Testament for the 21st century. Written by an evangelical independent scholar, the contents are not beholden to any hidden agenda or denominational requirements. The only affirmation of the author is that the Bible is an inspired writing to guide the confessional follower of Jesus, the Christ. Visit us at www.actministry.org
