Christianity 101

Christianity 101 is an adult Sunday School class of the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Garland, Texas. We concentrate on weekly Bible study - a chapter a week of a book of the Old or New Testament. We take this approach to Bible study: 1) What does it say? 2) What does it mean? 3) So what? Every week we add new slides as we develop our class materials for that Sunday's class. The current class in progress will always be at the top of the list.

Info on the book of Exodus:
Who:
The book has several references to Moses as the author of several of the sections. Other books in the Old Testament associate Moses with the writings in this book. Also, the NT writers support Moses as the writer.
When and Where:
The book itself doesn’t give a lot of information that can be directly linked to Egyptian history. Most conservative scholars use the dates of 1580-1321 BC, during the Eighteenth Dynasty. There is no indication where it was written, but it seems possible that the stories were written during the 40 years of wandering.
To whom:
To the Hebrew people.
What form:
Historical narrative.
What’s it about:
How God reveals his name, his attributes, his redemption, his law and how he is to be worshipped.For what purpose: To help the Israelites learn and remember their history. Also, to teach God’s plan for redemption, how he wanted his people to live, and the importance of worship.
