About Pathway Bible Guides

Church Matters is part of this new series of Pathway Bible Guides. They aim to provide simple, straightforward Bible study material for:

• Christians who are new to studying the Bible (perhaps because they've been recently converted or because they have joined a Bible study group for the first time);
• Christians with lower literacy levels who find other studies (such as the Good Book Guides or Interactive Bible Studies) too much of a stretch.

Accordingly, the studies are designed to be short, straightforward and easy to use, with an uncomplicated vocabulary. At the same time, the writers have tried to do justice to the passages being studied and to model good Bible-reading principles. They have tried to be simple without being simplistic; no-nonsense without being no-content.

The questions and answers assume a small group context but can easily be adapted to suit different situations, such as individual study and one to one.
