BIBLICAL ESSAYS

By David Teeter

These essays are drawn from years of bible study in my journey as a follower of Jesus Christ. Some wrestle with the hard issues of faith, doubt, and uncertainty. Others reflect on stories that illustrate God's love of all people, reaching across boundaries of culture, nationality, and religion.
