Threshold Bible Study: Jesus, the Compassionate Savior, Part One Luke 1-11

Threshold Bible Study is a thematic Scripture series designed for both personal study and group discussion. The thirty lessons in each study may be used by an individual for daily study over the course of a month or they many be divided into six lessons per week, providing a group study of six weekly sessions. Through the spiritual disciplines of Scripture reading, study, reflection, conversation, and prayer, readers will cross the threshold to a more abundant dwelling with God. Ideal for Bible study groups, small Christian communities, parish leadership teams, adult faith formation, student Scripture-study groups, RCIA teams, catechumens and candidates, catechists and teachers.

Luke wrote his gospel for all Gentiles seeking to understand God's universal plan of salvation in Jesus,the Savior of all people. Today, the gospel becomes truly good news for the lives of people in every nation, of every race, language, and culture.
