Class Material, Study Notes, etc.

  Links
The material below is primarily material prepared for Bible classes, mostly for adults, but some for high school classes and some for middle school classes. The attempt has always been to discern what God's will is, not to justify man's will. But the attempt has been made by a fallible man. Each one of us will give account before our Creator, and will be judged by his word, not by the comments made or conclusions drawn in the lessons linked below. Let these lessons and notes provoke you to deeper study of God's word, but let God's word be the end of the matter.

  • Chapter 9 This is an MS Word document. It is a cleaned up version of class notes I took as a college student sitting at Phil Roberts' feet. However, if flaws are found, they are not to be attributed to him. I occasionally inserted editorial comments, and now this long afterwards, it is difficult even for me to know which comments and asides represent his remarks and which few may have been insertions of my own. We spent 6 class periods on this particular chapter, beginning on Oct. 20, 1978 and continuing till Nov. 1, 1978.

Matthew 19:1-12

More than just notes, this is a comprehensive study of the passage, the historical context, modern interpretations, and textual issues. Originally published in 1989 as chapter 5 in Is It Lawful?, edited by Dennis G. Allan and Gary Fisher, this work has been revised for publication on the Internet. Much useful material in the endnotes is now more readily accessible. The text and endnotes are linked in both directions to allow the reader to easily move back and forth. Also, a previously unpublished supplement is now available.

War

The following article, written by J. W. McGarvey, appeared in Lard's Quarterly in 1868 and was
signed simply "M." It is made available here because it is particularly needed and timely. It ought to
be read by every Christian who supposes modern wars can be justified by an appeal to the Old
Testament. It is reproduced here in a manner intended to appoximate the page layout as originally printed.
