Have you ever wondered who all these people are that are mentioned in the New Testament? Like the Pharisees…who were they? And the Sadducees…what made them different to the Pharisees? Why is Simon called ‘the Zealot’, and how did the Romans fit into the picture? And then there’s the disciples…the twelve…or were there more than twelve? And why do some of them suddenly start being called apostles and stop being called disciples? Who wrote all of the New Testament’s books – exactly who were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John?
For answers to all of these questions and many more, as well as a look at the basic story of the New Testament and how the NT books fit into that story, head along to the School google group (click here) and download the latest session notes. And while you’re there why don’t you join the discussion.
