“Threshold Bible Study offers a very practical way to pray with Scripture, and I can think of nothing better for equipping people for the New Evangelization than a biblically soaked life of prayer.” —Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Denver

Threshold Bible Study is a dynamic, informative, and inspiring way to enter into a deeper relationship with God through Scripture. Each of its 30-lesson, theme-based books will help readers explore (through the lectio divina method of reading, study, and reflection) new dimensions of their faith. It will help them discover deeper insights for their lives and help open the doors of their hearts to the risen Christ. Great for personal reflection as well as group study .

Jesus, the Messianic King Part One (Matthew 1-16) Matthew’s gospel presents Jesus as Israel’s royal Messiah, inaugurating God’s kingdom in the world. It was written to help Jewish Christians understand that their faith in Jesus was entirely consistent with the faith of ancient Israel. With frequent quotations and allusions from the Old Testament, Matthew demonstrates how Jesus is both Son of David and Son of God. This study will help you understand the scope of this gospel, the clear advice it offers for the church, and its personal implications for the lives of disciples today.
