According to tradition, Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians while he was in prison in Rome around AD 62. Paul gives practical advice in how to live a holy, pure, and Christ inspired lifestyle. The unity of the church, especially between Jew and Gentile believers, is the keynote of the book. Ephesians is also notable for its domestic code covering husband-wife, parent-child, and master-slave relationships. Many devotional thoughts and sermons that are addressed to the practically minded individual have been drawn from this section of the New Testament.

The Book of Second Corinthians gives great insight into the personal life of Paul. It contains the longest discourse on giving in the New Testament. Paul made a trip to Corinth after writing the first letter because the problems he had addressed had not been resolved. Many of the people in Corinth still held on to their false teachings and sinful ways. In this letter, Paul praises God for giving him comfort and deliverance from his troubles and professes his integrity and the integrity of those that labor with him for the Gospel. Paul concludes with an appeal for repentance.

It has been translated into over 2000 languages and is still the world’s best-selling book every year. Since it was first published in 1611, the King James Bible quickly became the standard for English-speaking Protestants. Its flowing language and prose has had a profound influence on the literature of the past 400 years.

The Book of First Peter was written by the Apostle Peter during his time as Bishop of Rome to the churches of Asia Minor to address the problems of suffering and persecution. He counsels them to be steadfast under trials and explains some of the reasons why Christians suffer persecution.

The book of Colossians was written to the church in Colossae, a small Phrygian city near Laodicea and approximately 100 miles from Ephesus in Asia Minor. Like some of his other epistles, this seems to have been written because of reports Paul had heard of the internal state of the church there. During the first generation after Jesus, Paul's epistles to various churches helped establish early Christian theology.

The Book of Third John, attributed to John the Evangelist, is the shortest book in the Bible. It is a letter composed for Gaius, a member of one of the churches in Asia Minor that John adopted after Paul's death. The epistle begins with commendation and encouragement for Gaius, who showed hospitality to itinerant preachers of the gospel who were strangers to him even though a certain Diotrephes had stopped other church members from doing so. John reminds Gaius to show hospitality to messengers of the truth and commends his actions.

The Book of Second John was attributed to John the Evangelist and contains a warning to the churches about investing in preachers who taught different doctrines, such as those who believed Jesus was not flesh-and-blood and also warns them not to lose the reward they have worked so hard for.

The Book of Galatians is a letter from Paul of Tarsus to a number of early Christian communities that he had founded in the Roman province of Galatia. After Paul's departure, the churches were led astray from Paul's teachings by individuals proposing "another gospel" which centered around salvation through the Mosaic law. The Galatians appear to have been receptive to the teaching of these newcomers, and the epistle is Paul's angry response to what he sees as their willingness to turn from his teaching.

The Book of Romans is the sixth book in the New Testament. Biblical scholars agree that it was composed by the Apostle Paul to explain that salvation is offered through the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is by far the longest of Paul's epistles, and is considered his most important theological legacy.

The Book of Titus is one of the three pastoral epistles attributed to the Apostle Paul. It explains how Christians should live an exemplary lifestyle as an example of the grace of God to others. It is considered Paul's final instructions to the churches before his death.

The books of Psalms and Proverbs contain unique contents among the books in the Old Testament. Both widely read and highly treasured books of the Old Testament, Psalms and Proverbs contain wise sayings, songs of praises, encouragements, and prayers of the Jewish people. Psalms and Proverbs have different purposes but both books teach, instruct, inspire, and guide the audiences to a godly lifestyle, to a knowledge of God’s heart and His character, and to life’s perspectives that please the Lord.

In the first book of Timothy, Paul encourages him in his ministry of pastoring in the Ephesus Church. Paul had planted the Ephesus church himself, working there for more than three years, and as Paul becomes more aware of his impending end at the hands of Nero, he is setting things in order for the next generation. Major themes include the use of the law, warnings against false doctrine, instructions for prayer, roles of women in the church, and qualifications for leaders of the church, among others.

The Book of Acts is the fifth book in the New Testament and describes the historical development of the early Church, a time when Christianity spread like wildfire. Written by St. Luke, it begins with the Ascension of Jesus, the formation of the first Christian community in Jerusalem, and the day of Pentecost. The spread of Christianity is primarily seen through the actions of Peter, the first Apostle to bring Christianity to the Gentiles, and Paul, with his four missionary journeys.
