=== exodus ===

Exodus is the book of redemption. Its first word, now, links it onto Genesis. Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy all begin with conjunctions also, making the Pentateuch one single book. Exodus begins with the expression "Now these are the names," for redemption has to do with names--names written by grace into the book of God. The word exodus comes from the Greek and mean "the way out."

=== deuteronomy ===

The name Deuteronomy means “second law.” It was the second giving of the Mosaic Law, the first being at Mount Sinai. Moses felt compelled to bring this reminder of the Law to Israel, because those ready to enter the Promised Land were only children – if born at all – when the Law was originally given at Mount Sinai

=== judges ===

The book of Judges, which is believed to have been written by the prophet Samuel around 1050 – 1000 BC, presents us with a sad and turbulent period in Israel’s history. Contrasted greatly with the victorious book of Joshua that precedes it, Judges shows the failure of Israel to conquer their enemies, claim their inheritance, and the huge effect that this had on their life and relationship with God. Throughout this entire book, we see a repeated cycle, one that we will call ‘The cycle of sin’

Nehemyah, "Comfort of Yahweh." The book has been established to have come from the personal memoirs
of Nehemiah.

=== esther ===

Esther is the seventeenth book of the Bible and the last in order of the historical works. It is a narrative that has been called a historical novel. The book was evidently prepared for reading in Jewish homes suring the celebration of Purim, and it attained great popularity among the Jews. It is named for its principal character, a Jewish woman who became the queen of Xerxes, king of Persia,, and whose name was thereupon changed from the Hebrew Halassah to the Persian Esther.

=== proverbs ===

"The Proverbs", the opening noun gives the book its name in the Hebrew Bible as in ours. The Hebrew term basically means 'a comparison' (e.g., the sharp simile such as --at random--11:23, 12:4; or the full grown allegory of Ezek 17:2 or Judges 9:8), but it came to stand for any kind of sage pronouncement from a maxim or observation to a sermon, and from a wisecrack (Ez 18:2) to a doctrinal revelation.

- Ecclesiastes -

The Book of Ecclesiastes, written by inspiration of God, contains many of mankind's most serious reflections. These are not necessarily God's truth, but they stimulate the minds and hearts of men by forcing them to confront the hopelessness which is the logical result of facing life without God.

- Song of Songs -

The Song of Songs (Hebrew, שיר השירים, Shir ha-Shirim), is a book of the Hebrew Bible—one of the five megillot (scrolls)—found in the last section of the Tanakh, known as the Ketuvim (or “writings”). It is also known as the Song of Solomon, Solomon’s Song of Songs, or as Canticles, the latter from the shortened and anglicized Vulgate title Canticum Canticorum (Latin, “Song of Songs”). It is known as Āisma in the Septuagint, which is short for Āisma āismatōn (Greek, ᾎσμα ᾀσμάτων, “Song of Songs”).

=== isaiah ===

The Prophet Isaiah was born in 760 BC and is further identified as the son of Amoz (1:1). His name in Hebrew (Yeshayahu) means “Yah[weh] is Salvation.” And he lived this name well, insisting that Judah’s Kings and people trust only in God, make no alliances with foreign nations, and refuse to fear anyone but God. Isaiah has 66 chapters while the Bible has the same number of books. The Old Testament has 39 books and the first 39 chapters of Isaiah are all about the Old Testament. The New Testament has 27 books and the last 27 chapters of Isaiah are his prophecies of the Messiah.

=== amos ===

The work of Amos is generally placed at about 760 BC. He served at the time of two distinguished king. Jeroboam II ruled in Israel, the Northern Kingdom, for forty-one years. His was a long reign, characterized by conquest, expansion, and material prosperity. In Judah (the Southern Kingdom) Uzziah had a prosperous reign of fifty-two years. Amos came on the scene about the time these two rulers died.

=== obadiah ===

The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Sovereign LORD says about Edom— We have heard a message from the LORD : An envoy was sent to the nations to say, "Rise, and let us go against her for battle"- The Hebrew name Obadiah means "Worshiper of Yahweh" or "Servant of Yahweh."

=== nahum ===

The name “Nahum“ means comfort or consolation. His book is a message of destruction for Nineveh, and that would have been a message of consolation for the nations she had oppressed. The only thing we know about Nahum is found in 1:1 which says he was from Elkosh. But we don't know where that was because it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. It is difficult to determine a specific date for Nahum's ministry, but we can assume that it was written before 612 BC because that is when Nineveh was destroyed and since Nahum is predicting the destruction of Nineveh that would be a safe assumption.

=== zephaniah ===

The name Zephaniah (Hebrew — Tsephan-yah) means “Yahweh hides” or “Yahweh has hidden.” “Zephaniah was evidently born during the latter part of King Manasseh’s reign (695 – 642 BC). His name may mean that he was ‘hidden’ from Manasseh’s atrocities” (Expanded Open Bible). See II Kings 21:1-18 and II Chronicles 33:1-20 for the nature of this king’s reign.

=== haggai ===

Haggai's name is mentioned nine times in the book. The authorship is virtually uncontested. There are two references to Haggai in Ezra where he is seen working alongside younger prophet Zechariah.

=== luke ===

Luke is one of the three “Synoptic Gospels,” which means that it covers much of the same territory as those of St. Matthew and St. Mark. As a result, if Luke’s Gospel had not been written, there would still be a great deal of the Jesus story that would have been preserved (not only by Matthew and Mark but also by John). However, there are certain things that only Luke records.

=== acts ===

In a sense, the lesson of the book of Acts is that the life of Jesus goes on in his church. It is commonly held that the writer was Luke and Acts continues where the gospel of Luke left off. The main purpose of Acts is sufficiently indicated in the preface to the gospel of which Acts is confessedly a continuation (The title ‘ Acts of the Apostles’ was almost certainly prefixed later, when Acts often circulated separately from the gospel).

Paul’s Letter to the Romans is a pastoral tour de force. It is of course richly theological. Nowhere does Paul more deeply and beautifully open up to us the gospel of God’s saving grace in Christ. But Paul’s theology of grace is not an abstract exposition of doctrine. He is concerned to explain to the church in Rome the gospel he preached and to establish them in that gospel. The apostle’s doctrine always has a pastoral edge to it. True theology is for living , it is never a brute chunk of fact.

The purpose of the letter is to address the issues and provide solutions to a group of new believers who are divided in their interpretation of the Scriptures and are still battling with internal divisions caused by their own Pagan religion. This is in stark contrast to other Epistles such as Romans and Timothy that were written to an audience of more mature believers

Colossians was written as a warning against certain false teachers, about whom St. Paul had probably heard from Epaphras, his fellow-prisoner" and the founder of the Church of the Colossians. Paul denounces ascetic practices or avoiding certain foods because Christ's death put an end to such distinctions. Believers are one in Christ, not divided between circumcised and uncircumcised, slave and free, and so on

The first letter of Paul to the Thessalonians is also the first letter the apostle wrote. It was written to a struggling, yet vigorous church that was only a few months old, made up of Christians who had just come to Christ under Paul's ministry.

The five chapters of James lays the groundwork for what a Christian life looks like: In our confidence in standing up for Christ (chapter 1), compassionate service (chapter 2), careful speech (chapter 3), contrite submission (chapter 4), and concerning sharing (chapter 5). Faith is more than hearing or speaking God’s Word, it’s becoming doers of His commandments.

Written by John the Evangelist, 1 John is all about love. John helps those who read the Holy Bible to discover what love is.
The word "love" is used interchangeably with the words "light" and "word." He uses these words to help both believers and non-believers understand what love looks and feels like, and how it acts and sounds.
