I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m happy to say it again: Bible Study Magazine is just terrific. If you don’t mind print magazines, and you’d like to be challenged more by your time in the word of God, this magazine is well worth the investment.
It publishes 6 issues per year. Each issue focuses on a book of the Bible. Many short articles tackle different issues regarding that book.
For example, the current issue is on the book of Mark. Sample articles deal with:
- Why Mark portrays Jesus as hiding his Messianic identity.
- Why the disciples are such bumbling ignoramuses in Mark.
- How Jesus’ interaction with the legion of demons launches a campaign to reclaim the nations for his glory.
- How the demon-possessed boy (Mark 9) helps us understand why some of our prayers go unanswered.
The best part of each issue is this “special section” on a book of the Bible. There are headline articles interviewing famous Bible teachers, but I can take them or leave them. And the suggestions for 8-week Bible studies sometimes get a little tedious and tunnel-vision-ed. But the 10 or 12 one-page articles on Mark (or other featured book) always stimulate and stretch.
