A Bird's-Eye View of the Bible: Second Edition
Palmer, Frank Nelson
Bible -- Study and teaching
Record the words of address as found in the opening of each epistle. The
following is given as an example:
Romans: "To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints."
1:7.
II. _Location of Churches Addressed:_
Draw full-page map of Mediterranean Sea and surrounding countries,
locating the churches, seven in number.
III. _Names in the Superscriptions:_
Record the names addressing the epistles as given at the beginning of
each, together with descriptions attached. Describe the persons whose
names are made companion with Paul's. Note whether they are regarded as
writers, and why Paul adds their names. Note I Cor. 16:21, Phil. 1:21,
and II Thes. 3:17. The following two are given as examples:
Romans: Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ.
I Corinthians: Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, * * * and
Sosthenes, our brother.
Sosthenes was ruler of a Jewish synagogue (Acts 18:17). He was probably
converted later. He is not regarded as aiding in the authorship. It was
probably sent in his name to add weight.
IV. _General Contents:_
Secure these by reference to Bible Dictionary. The following is given as
an example:
Romans and Galatians: The doctrines of sin and grace.
