5.0 out of 5 stars Great for personal or group studies., February 8, 2009

By	W. Matthews (Strongstown, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: James: Guidelines for a Happy Christian Life (MacArthur Bible Studies) (Paperback)

This study guide series is one of the best I have ever used.

Macarthur gives an introduction to the book of James regarding the authorship, the background and setting, along with historical and theological themes. He also mentions some interpretive challenges that may arise from the Scripture.

MacArthur starts each chapter with some opening questions and then provides some background information to the passage of scripture. There is room in the study guide for you to answer the questions. The scripture is then read (which is included in the study guide) along with some of MacArthur's notes about the passage.

There are then several questions to help you understand the passage better. MacArthur provides a cross-reference Scripture passage to further explore the meaning of the original passage from James. There are, of course, additional questions to ponder or discuss.

Finally, MacArthur sums up the passage and lists a few more questions to help you reflect on the text and what you have learned.

I highly recommend this study guide series for either your own personal study or a group discussion. Each chapter can take about an hour during a group Bible Study meeting.

MacArthur study guides are great for our Bible Study. Unlike many others, his questions are thought provoking. We use MacArthur material a lot in our group.
