Each passage is treated in three sections: Original Meaning, Bridging Contexts, and Contemporary Significance. The Original Meaning section helps you understand the meaning of the biblical text in its first-century context. Bridging Contexts builds a bridge between the world of the Bible and the world today, between the original context, by focusing on both the timely and timeless aspects of the text. The Contemporary Significance section allows the biblical message to speak with as much power today as it did when it was first written.
