Supercharge your church's understanding of the Bible - Book by book!

Bible Month (Dispatching January 2025)

Bible Month provides a well-structured and easily accessible learning toolkit to the book of the Bible with which every Christian should be familiar. Having said that, this edition of Bible Month aims to challenge your understanding and reveal aspects of Genesis that you may not have thought of.

The course is broken down into four weekly sections, with notes by Debra Reid. Andy Fishburne gives guidance to small groups, whilst Gail Adcock provides interactive resources, including aids for participation and discussion for all ages. A reflection by Helen Paynter on the flood is also included, along with helpful overview tables showing useful links between Genesis and Revelation and patterns that repeat in Scripture.

For those who wish to continue their study, we provide a list of further resources, which invite you to dig deeper into the context and commentary of Genesis.

The booklet is the primary resource for equipping people to join Bible Month and is often a catalyst for personal thinking and prayer. Other resources include author videos with additional insights; training events online and in person; a bespoke YouTube channel; and a dedicated Facebook group with weekly input. You can find links to other resources at https://www.methodist.org.uk/our-faith/the-bible/bible-month/.

Using Bible Month
