Lexham Bible Guides: Your Tools for Better Research

My first college class on Paul’s letters overwhelmed me so much that I chose Paul’s shortest letter for my final paper. I knew that if I focused on anything longer than Philemon, I might miss something—there’s just too much published research about Paul and his letters.

As it turned out, I was right: I watched students around me struggle as they tackled Galatians, Romans, and Paul’s other long letters. In the sea of commentaries, they missed major points. If the Lexham Bible Guides had existed back then, my fellow students and I wouldn’t have had this problem.

Biblical research shouldn’t be this difficult. A requirement for entry shouldn’t be how fast you can read or access the right material.

Every week, pastors face similar fears: “Did I get my interpretation right?” Every day, students hand in papers hoping they haven’t missed a major viewpoint. I imagine that in every seminary library, there’s a student roaming aimlessly through stacks of commentaries on Romans, forgetting to eat and slowly growing thinner as they lose vital working hours to reading footnotes on grammar and syntax. They struggle with the same questions I did: “Will I survive this class? And if I do, will I actually be more successful in research and ministry?”
