Practical Lessons to Guide the Bible Student in Determining, Understanding and Applying Biblical Authority

The lessons begin by showing that the Bible is the inspired book of God and how to make a proper distinction between the Mosaic covenant and the covenant of Christ. The lessons show that the authority of Christ is made known to us by the apostles in the New Testament. The necessity of acting according to God's revealed law is stressed.

Lessons five through seven explain in a clear and practical way how the Bible directs us, the difference between general and specific authority, and the nature of the silence of God. The closing lessons discuss false standards to which men sometimes appeal, the danger of adding to or taking from what God has spoken, and the authority of elders, preachers, and men. The final lesson deals with the role of examples in determining what we should do.
