The Psalms give us a little Bible, says Luther. In these 150 chapters, we find a range of themes and doctrines laid out for us. More than that, these are specifically written for occasions of singing and worship. But how should we understand these 150 chapters, divided into five books? Here's a thematic approach to understanding each of the five books of the Psalter. I hope it's helpful and gives you the tools to better understand this unique book of Scripture.

The book of Ruth tells us a simple story, but there are numerous thematic layers to discover which help us to appreciate the beauty and depth of God's word. In this episode, we will look at character development, book ends, and thematic comparisons of the various genres of the Old Testament, all of which demonstrate that the book of Ruth is much more significant than we may have realized. Best of all, today's study methods can also be used in your study of other biblical narratives. I hope you find this helpful in deepening your love for the Lord and His Word.

The minor prophets are often hard to understand, but Scripture provides us with helpful themes and concepts that can make a huge difference in helping us unlock their significance. Today, we will consider how Exodus 34:6 provides us with an important self-revelation of God that comes up repeatedly throughout the minor prophets. If you find yourself confused or perplexed in understanding the significance of the minor prophets, this episode should help your Bible reading and comprehension tremendously!

The Sabbath is a complicated doctrine in Christianity, with one extreme focusing entirely on what day the sabbath should be observed and another entirely forgetting the doctrine. Prooftexts alone are unhelpful, as we find the sabbath taking on a progressive development throughout biblical revelation (Genesis-Revelation). Here's a survey of the kind of working biblical knowledge needed to come away with a solid understanding of the Sabbath and how it progresses throughout the scope of Scripture.
