About this ebook
The Kit includes a teacher’s book and a commentary that supplements and complements the Adult Bible Studies student book.

Small group leaders, teachers, and facilitators—both seasoned and just starting—love the easy-to-use format and the wealth of information provided to prepare for each week’s discussion.
Based on the trusted Abingdon Basic Bible Commentary, the Concise Commentary provides expert biblical commentary for the focal Bible passages used in Adult Bible Studies. The commentary includes each Sunday’s focal Bible passages, unit introductions, and expert commentary on each passage. Plus, you can pronounce everything correctly with the included pronunciation guide for Bible names and places.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to enhance your preparation and teaching with the help of the Adult Bible Studies Teacher Book and Concise Commentary!
Cultivate a deeper relationship with God through Adult Bible Studies. Each weekly lesson offers background and focal Scriptures, key verses, and doctrinally sound and relevant biblical interpretation and application in a readable font size. Annual plans provide comprehensive coverage of the Bible, including special lessons during the church seasons of Advent and Christmas, as well as Lent and Easter. They also offer suggestions for developing spiritual practices such as prayer, worship, community, and service, among others. Adult Bible Studies is a reliable companion and guide for learning and growing in the Christian faith.
This quarter’s themes: Lament. Confession. Rebirth.
How do you speak to God? How does God speak to you? For Spring 2026, we’ll consider the depths of our words to God, from lament to a new hope, before considering how God uses the Church to speak to the World. You and your class will be challenged to grow in faith through these units of study.
With the help of the Adult Bible Studies Teacher/Commentary Kit and DVD, your group will come to understand that it’s not just about learning - it’s about living out biblical teachings.
