2016–2022 Topics to DiscoverThe Standard Lesson Quarterly contains four 13-week topical studies each year. These are built around themes created within the ISSL/Uniform Series.

The International Sunday School Lessons (ISSL)/Uniform Series is a 6-year plan for reading and studying the entire Bible. Designed to take students into every part of Scripture, the Uniform Series pulls at least one lesson from nearly every book of the Bible over the 6-year cycle, following 8 specific themes. This more holistic study of the Bible helps students know the content of the Bible, understand the message of the Bible, and know the God of the Bible.
