Dr. Woodruff has kept notes of most of his study over the course of his ministries. He has preached and taught the Bible for many years. This book is the result of a series of Bible Studies that the church had on Wednesday Night. It was well received by the church and this encouraged him to put this together for this book. He calls it an Opinionary in that he not only comments but you will get his opinion. You will also receive the many Script...

The Judges as they appear in the book of Judges and the prophets are those listed in the prophets of the Old Testament who have a book named for them. This does leave out Abraham, Moses, Elijah, and Elisha. They all deserve a separate work but I have appended a brief description of Elijah and Elisha to the end. The kings of course start with Saul, David, and Solomon. We will then branch into what could be called the sundered kingdoms of Isra...

In Galatians we have a unique circumstance. Paul had assisted in the establishment of the churches in the area but they were changing. In Acts 15, there had been a council that reestablished that the Gospel was for the Gentiles also and they were not under the strict dictate of the Old Testament law but were under Grace. They established the Apostleship of Paul and sent messengers to tell this to the churches. The problem was those who were ca...

Matthew is the first Gospel record we come to in the New Testament. It is one of four Gospels. Matthew covers Christ as a King. Mark covers Christ as a servant and Luke covers Christ as a servant. John of course is the Gospel that covers Christ as God. This gives us an accurate picture of the time of Christ. It is important that we understand that Christ was the Immanuel or God with us. This is His story and Matthew conveys it in the light of ...

Commentary on the book of Joshua. A fresh look at this warrior king who took over a wandering Israel and marched them into the Promised Land. The book contains many principles for our life and this is brought out of the text. The book is full of obedience and faith through the characters that are depicted. Often the Old Testament is neglected for these principles. We note that these things were written for our examples. As we understand that G...

This is a book that describes the leaving of the Children of Israel from the Promised Land. It was all of God and He introduces Himself to Moses, Pharaoh, and finally the nation. His identification is central to this book. It is even central today. God has revealed Himself and here with power. It is a story of redemption and resettling. It is a journey to be where God wants them to be. Moses is God's man for God's people. They go from bonded, ...

The Pastorals are what I call letters written to Pastors. Pastor of course is a term for the office of Pastor. This office is turn readily recognizable by term of shepherd in the Old Testament. The letters are of course advice on what to do in the church. It is more. What should the church expect of the Pastor? How do they measure his qualification or his performance? What is in store for the church? The Pastorals give these answers. The Pasto...

Genesis as it name implies is a book of "Beginnings." It contains the dramatic story of Creation. It shows the creation of the universe and the beginnings of life on this planet. The book offers itself assuming the issue of its own veracity. It is not subject to man's scientific investigation. Man would like to have proof but the Bible although provable is not written so that it might be put into a scientific journal where some man may say tha...

We note that in the Gospels that Matthew portrays Christ as King. Mark portrays Christ as a servant and John of course portrays Christ as divine. Luke on the other hand was written by a Gentile author and his portrayal is that Christ is a man. I note this as a style and not a dogmatic statement. Christ was more than a man He was that theoantropic person we call the God man. Each of the authors does portray a facet of Christ. This book does n...

Ephesians is noted for two things. It is noted for its particular doctrinal exposition. It is also noted that it is the only Epistle that is also mentioned as church in Revelation. We note that it also contains reference to the Bride of Christ and to Marriage. It talks of behavior of the believer in relationship to the world. Ephesians tells us what we have, what we were, what we become and then what we should do. Dr. Woodruff has also includ...

John is a book that presents the divinity of Christ. The book starts with a declaration of the "Logos." Christ is God and through His works proves it. John 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. John 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel. The statement of Nicodemus is a recognition of this. John 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi,...

The Gospel of Mark is said to have been written directly by Mark. Some believe he acted as a Secretary of Peter. We understand that this was written in a truncated form. It is the smallest of the Gospels at 16 chapters. It does leave much out that is covered by the other Gospel. It contains the miracles and message of Jesus Christ the Son of God and this is how Christ is introduced at the front of the Book. Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gos...

This book is written to give the reader a look a missions. It is not an exhaustive work nor does it cover all areas. It does give the reader a glimpse into history and the history of missions. This of course is done in a back drop of the Seven Churches of Revelation. The reader will get a basic understanding of missions and our responsibility to missions as revealed in the "Great Commission." We understand the relationship of the Church and mi...

The Book of Acts is an exciting sequel to the Book of Luke. Luke the beloved physician and companion at times of the Apostles gives us a true history of the early Church. It starts with the Ascension and moves through the imprisonment of the Apostle Paul in Rome. We are able to understand the issues of two Church councils along with the first martyrs of the Church. This is exciting reading for anyone and must for believers. Dr. Woodruff takes...

This book is what I call an Opinionary. This is a word I use to describe what happens here. You have my opinion on the verses that are given and are a result of my study under what I consider the direction of the Holy Spirit. Leviticus is the heart of the law and points to what Israel needs to do to be a Holy Nation before God. The law should always point us to Christ. We today live under grace and this is an entirely different aspect. The pro...

Numbers is the third of five books called the Pentateuch. The others of course are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy. Numbers is a fulfillment of prophecy and the Abrahamic Covenant which was prophecy also. Numbers 1:2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls, The children of Israel grew from a fa...

There have been many who have taken pen in hand to write about Judges, Kings and Prophets. The basic difference in this book is that the material here is compiled here from my study. I am listing the Judges as they appear in the book of Judges and the prophets are those listed in the prophets of the Old Testament who have a book named for them. This does leave out Abraham, Moses, Elijah, and Elisha. They all deserve a separate work but I hav...

Deuteronomy repeats the previous three books. These of course are Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. It is a repetition in that we can see the history and the laws. It does however deal with the death of Moses in the last chapter. There is in this of explanation an expansion of what is being told here. There are of course some additions. I note also what could be called the blessing and curse warnings. It is if they are obedient they are blesse...

There are many works that portray the life of Jesus Christ. The author of this book joins the ranks. The work talks of the life of Christ from eternity past, His incarnation, His resurrection, His Ascension, His current ministry, and through prophecy to the future. It is mentionable that the incarnation is dealt with as a harmony of the Gospel accounts.
