This was very helpful and one thing Ilearnt was that the background storyis very useful and now my personalunderstanding has improved.

I have learnt so much and I know thateverything I have learnt will be usefulfor my future ministry.

They really helped me to learn how tointerpret the Bible. Insightful, empowering and thoughtprovoking. I personally learned a lot.Teachings not to be forgotten.
