This short-term (60-90 minutes), in-depth Bible study is modeled after the basic design of DISCIPLE Bible Study (no training required). A two-part video segment guides the session with interpretive presentations from biblical scholars, contextual presentations, and roundtable discussions. The planning kit contains one video in both DVD and VHS formats, one Leader's Guide, and one Participant's Book.

This study invites participants to hear the story of God and God's calling of the people of Israel through the many "voices" of the biblical text. Narrative, poem, history, and prophetic utterance all have their own distinctive characteristics and purpose, arising out of a particular historical, social, and cultural setting.

Sessions:
1. The Making of the Hebrew Bible
2. The Creation Story of Israel
3. Out of Bondage
4. Promise and Problem in the Land
5. Israel Has a King
6. Division and the Rise of Prophecy
7. Exile and Response
8. Restoration and Renewal
