THE BIG BOOK–COVER TO COVER: GENESIS
Description:
Howard Hendricks (many of you know him as the Prof) challenged me to take on a new and challenging subject every year, and that’s sort of where this new series comes from.
Over the years, verse-by-verse has been my love and I think it’s lacking in churches today, but after doing this for 40 years, one thing that’s struck me is that people don’t seem to know the big picture anymore.
How do we re-engage with an overview of what the Bible is about?
We study it as a whole.
Join us for The Big Book–Cover to Cover: a teaching series on the entire Bible, book by book, beginning today in Genesis...

THE BIG BOOK–COVER TO COVER: BONUS EPISODE: Creation Of Eve And The First Marriage
Description: From time to time throughout this series, we'll release bonus episodes consisting of interviews with experts who are able to bring a little more nuance and depth to some of the themes and characters in the books we're studying than I'm able to teach in a single episode about that book. In this first Bonus Episode in our Cover to Cover series, I spoke with with Dr. Mike Lawson about the creation of Eve and the first marriage.

THE BIG BOOK–COVER TO COVER: EXODUS
Description: It may be a surprise when we realize that technically only about two chapters of Exodus (Exodus 13:17-Exodus 15:21) deal with the “Exodus proper.” So, there is much more for us in these 40 chapters. We’re continuing our over-view study of the Scriptures by looking at each book week by week. Join us today as Michael teaches about Exodus.

THE BIG BOOK–COVER TO COVER: LEVITICUS
Description: To the first recipients, Leviticus offered freedom from the burden of the Law through instruction for confession and worship. The Pentateuch––the first five books of the Bible––is a whole in five parts. We might even say it’s one book with five chapters, and Leviticus is one of them.

THE BIG BOOK–COVER TO COVER: NUMBERS
Description: Years ago Cindy and I visited the church we had attended in college and heard a guest speaker, Dr. Waltke. As he was preparing to teach, he warned he would be reading a lengthy passage of Scripture and encouraged us: “While I have been nervous about this reading, I want you to remember, …this is a page of the Word of God and it deserves our attention.” As we dive in to an overview of the book of Numbers, let’s be reminded that this is the Word of God.

THE BIG BOOK–COVER TO COVER: BONUS EPISODE: Reading Numbers Like a Historian, with Dr. Mark Chavalas
Description: Joining us today is historian and professor Dr. Mark Chavalas. His research over the past decade has focused on inter-connections between ancient Mesopotamia along areas as Anatoly, Iran, Egypt, Palestine, etc. And what he brings to the table is a focus from a bronze-Syrian age to the third millennium. And all that means to me is: How do we think about the Old Testament from a Syrian-Babylonian perspective?

THE BIG BOOK–COVER TO COVER: DEUTERONOMY
Description: Moses leads his people as far as he will be allowed to go toward the Promised Land and is buried by God in the book of Deuteronomy. This book is much more than a second-telling of the law. It's a recounting of Israel's history and an underscoring of who God is, and what He's promised. Join us as we look today to the fifth and final chapter of the Pentateuch. To read this episode's Show Notes, visit: michaelincontext.com/cover-to-cover-deuteronomy/

THE BIG BOOK–COVER TO COVER: BONUS EPISODE: Understanding God's Word with Dr. Tom Constable
Description: One of my goals for the big book cover to cover study was to emphasize some of the things that maybe are key to a book, but are not necessarily addressed as you've listened to the podcast. Today I'm thrilled to have Dr. Constable here and to answer some of my questions and to talk about the creation of his outlines, which are available to us online for free. You can find links to Dr. Constable's outlines in our Show Notes: https://michaelincontext.com/understanding-gods-word-tom-constable/

THE BIG BOOK–COVER TO COVER: JOSHUA
Description: We’ve covered the Pentateuch and if there’s a takeaway I want to make sure you have, it’s that it’s a corpus of literature, not five individual books. So often we think of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy as 5 books – but there’s a continuity that carries through each one:

So often we think of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy as 5 books – but there’s a continuity that carries through each one:
- Genesis: The beginning of creation
- Exodus: Redemption from slavery, consecration for worship
- Leviticus: Holiness to the Lord
- Numbers: Understanding the allotments and order God has given for the Levitical priests
- Deuteronomy: The second law-giving and recap of the Hebrews' history.

THE BIG BOOK–COVER TO COVER: JUDGES
Description: We've moved through the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) and into the Historical Books. If you missed our study of Joshua, listen and review Show Notes Here. Today, we're looking at Judges, which has often been referred to as the darkest days in Israel's history. Judges is a tectonic shift in the storyline, as we look at a generation who doesn't know God.
