How to use Bible centered studies?
The method recommended for use with Bible Centered Studies is based upon the inherent advantages of drill work. The method is not solely rote: the method is the introduction of Bible facts by the teacher to the student with sufficient association and related material to enable the student to retain and use these facts by learning certain key terms. These key terms, in turn, trigger the memory to produce a definition which further causes recall of the desired lesson or lessons. The outlines in the lesson are about Biblical groups of geographic or historical places or events used in relation to some of the key terms.
How many books are in the Bible Centered Studies series?
The eleven books in the Bible Centered Studies Series were originally written over a period of fourteen years, from 1960 to 1974: a time when rote was an acceptable, enjoyable and profitable method of teaching and learning. Each of the editions consisted of a Teacher's Handbook and the associated Student Guide containing a special instructional method utilizing rote. Each book had from 60 to 100 Key words or terms related to the Bible subject. The teaching method used in the series is not solely rote, although that word helps to describe the methodology.
Why was the Law of Moses added to the Bible?
The Law that came by Moses (John 1:17) was added because of transgression, until the seed should come, Galatians 3:19. This would include all the carnal ordinances that were against us; through Christ these binding rules were taken away - nailed to the cross, Colossians 2:14.
What is the Bible handbook?

The success a teacher has will not depend upon this handbook; rather it will depend upon the textbook, the Bible, and upon the teacher’s preparation to present the lessons in an effective manner.
Why did God destroy all life in the waters of the flood?
Man did multiply and populated the earth. However, man did not follow after the commandments of God but walked after that which as right only in his own eyes. Genesis 6:12 says: “And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.” The next verse tells why God decided to destroy all life in the waters of the flood; it was because the earth was filled with violence. God instructed Noah how to build the ark and what to take into the ark in order to save some, Genesis 6:13-7:5.
Where was the Bible and Godhead produced?

Who was Solomon in the Bible?
Solomon was one of the youngest, if not the youngest, of David’s Sons. His name means “peaceable’’ in anticipation of the quiet and peace that characterize his reign. Adonijah, one of the older sons, tried to seize the throne before the death of David; this plot failed through the efforts of Nathan the prophet, Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the commander of military forces. So Solomon came to the throne with full support; he was only about twenty years of age, but wise enough to know his limitations even then, (I Kings 1:1-40). The Bible says he walked in the statutes of his father David, including going to the high places to worship. In the early days of his reign he went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices. The Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘‘Ask what I shall give you,’’ I Kings 3:5. Solomon first responded by thanking God for his throne and taking the place of his father, David. He continued saying, “I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in,’’ I Kings 3:7. Being in the midst of this great and numerous people, ‘‘Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad,” I Kings 3:9. God was pleased and gave him a wise and understanding heart to judge the people. Solomon called himself “a little child” but he probably meant that he was very young to have the responsibility of ruling the kingdom. The young man asked for wisdom instead of wealth, a long life, or the death of his enemies. One example of his ability to judge is recorded in I Kings 3:16-28 when he had to determine the true mother of a child. The teacher should read and use this story. Today young people should seek the wisdom of the Lord as found in his Word―the way the Lord speaks to men today. As Paul said, the scriptures make one wise unto salvation, II Timothy 3:15.
