Held at 3:00 pm Eastern time Saturday February 27, March 6, 13,20, 27

Part 1: The Law, which includes Genesis through Deuteronomy: Genesis introduces the beginnings of the world, of civilization and of Israel. Exodus-Deuteronomy contain a blueprint for social engineering under God.

Part 2:  The Prophets, comprising Joshua, Judges, I and II Samuel, I and II Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi.  The historical books tell the history of ancient Israel and Judah beginning with the settlement of the Promised Land up until the ruling classes were taken into Exile in Babylon.  They are accompanied by prophetic voices from before, during and after the Exile.

Part 3:  The Writings, which include Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and I and II Chronicles. This collection of ancient literature includes the songs, stories and wisdom of antiquity together with a Davidic history of Judah and records of the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the Exile.

Part 4: The Gospels and related works, which are Matthew, Mark, Luke-Acts, John, and I, 2, 3 John.  The gospels tell the story of Jesus, each from a different perspective and for a different audience. Matthew, Mark and Luke focus on the Galilean ministry of Jesus, telling very similar stories.  John records many unique Jerusalem speeches. The letters of John are addressed to the community that produced the Gospel of John. Acts is a second volume that goes on from Luke to tell how the apostles brought forth Christian churches.  

Part 5:  The Epistles and Apocalypse, including Romans, I and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, I and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 and 2 Peter, Jude, and Revelation.  The letters record the founding of Gentile Christianity from the very early ministry of Paul up to the second century of the Christian Era. Finally, the Apocalypse closes the circle of salvation by foretelling the realized spiritual creation.
