I hope to see you tomorrow night (Tuesday May 4th, 7:30pm) at the Shelleys' house for small group. Sarah will continue leading our discussion on how to study the Epistles, and we'll also be sharing what we learned from our Challenge in Philippians. Hopefully you've had a chance over the past two weeks to dive into Philippians, meditate on it, & try to understand it. If not, don't worry, you can still get in on the challenge. Sit down right now and read through the four short chapters, and try to answer the following questions:
- Does the book itself state its author?
- Does the book itself state when it was written?
- Does the book contain/refer to any historical events?
- Does the book contain geographical information?
- What does it say about the recipients?
- What is the relationship between the author and the recipients?
- What hints of social customs/manner of life are contained?
- Does the book appear to give an overall purpose for its having been written? Generally? Specific mention?
- Are there any special concerns? A recurring word or theme?
- Can you discern an outline?
- Are there any other questions or observations you have not covered by the previous questions?
