Prep Questions

On the page for each Episode you will find prep questions for that section of Scripture, which you can view online or download and print.

(Alternatively you can download the entire set here).

The questions are to help you read actively rather than passively, and to direct your attention to some of the key passages and themes in that part of Scripture, or important links to other scriptures.

There are also brief notes to help you get into that section of Scripture. We don’t want to try to explain everything, rather just give you enough so you can engage meaningfully. And don’t worry if you don’t understand or can’t answer everything—the aim of reading big chunks like this is to notice the big picture, and not get lost in the detail.

Each section has a few additional features:

·       key chapters

·       questions for reflection

·       a ‘star’ moment to fill in with some way this text points to Jesus

In some cases, I’ve put the star near a particular section of text that I think points to Jesus, but at times I’ve put it at the end as part of the Reflection box, so just look over the whole section to try to see some way it points to Jesus. At times you may be pointed to him by negative example, i.e. ‘We need a king who is not like king x’. Or you may be shown human sin and hence the need of his salvation.
