- Hebrews and the General Letters; Revelation
Hebrews, James, Peter, John, Jude and Revelation were written to churches under pressure. Learn what God says through them to tired, tested and troubled believers.
This course follows two WWES textbooks, Hebrews and the General Letters and Revelation. It begins with Hebrews, which answers believers tempted to drift back by showing the greatness of Christ. Then it shows how James and Paul describe one faith, and how John and Jude test teachers without becoming harsh. It ends with Revelation, read by its kind of writing and its Old Testament background, from the Lamb on the throne to the city without a temple.
