Over Our Heads

Meeting Jesus in the Layers of Scripture

How does your view of inspiration inform how you think of the Bible? How clearly is Jesus seen in characters like Benjamin, Mordecai, and Jephthah? Why do relationships between older and younger brothers come up almost constantly in the Old Testament? Why are there so many stories of two ladies being connected through a strange set of God-inspired circumstances? Why does it matter if David’s name means “Beloved”? What about Moses’ name? Methuselah’s? What’s the big deal about the number 26? 17? 153? How does the way Mark writes explain his strange ending? Answers to these questions (and countless more like them) are available through every student’s Bible study. By learning from the biblical authors how to approach Scripture with Jesus at the center, all Jesus-followers can find the answers that the Bible is written to illuminate.
