This unique study is organized around the purpose, function and goal of the book that is stated in the first three verses: to reveal Jesus Christ so that his servants faithfully endure suffering in order to receive blessing. The study is presented in a workbook style that is geared for small groups or individuals. It has important historical and interpretive information throughout, aimed at exposing the meaning of the biblical text. Each lesson always brings the student back to the foundational purpose, function and goal through reflective discussion questions.
