Bible Study Series - The Essence of Historical Books: OT 12 History – 研經系列 － 歷史書要義

"The Essence of Historical Books" from the Bible Study Series serves as a Christ-centered, covenant-framed workbook designed to deepen believers' understanding of Scripture and to build them up in the truth. It covers the twelve historical books of the Old Testament, from Joshua to Esther, emphasizing that God is the sovereign orchestrator of history, faithful to His covenant and merciful in His dealings. The theme conveyed is the gradual unfolding of God's redemptive plan throughout Old Testament history, with Christ at the focal point. These historical books bear witness to Christ (John 5:39), and this study elucidates how historical figures and events prefigure Christ and their significance for our spiritual nourishment and service today. The book is ideal for individual study, family devotion, Bible study groups, Sunday school classes, and theological training. 《研經系列 － 歷史書要義》是一本以基督為中心，以救贖聖約為框架的研讀聖經工作手冊，旨在加深信徒對聖經的理解並在真理上建立他們。本書涵蓋舊約中的十二本歷史書，從約書亞記到以斯帖記，強調神是歷史的主權統籌者，對祂的聖約忠信且在祂的交易中充滿慈愛。透過這些書傳達的主題是在舊約歷史中逐漸展開的神救贖計劃，以基督為焦點。這些歷史書見證了基督（約翰福音5:39），本研經明確闡述了歷史人物和事件如何預表基督以及它們對我們今天的屬靈滋養和服務的意義。這本書非常適合個人學習、家庭靈修、查經小組、主日學課程和神學培訓。
