What Can the Bible Teach Us?​—How to Use It

The new Teach Us video is similar to the Bible Teach video that was previously used in that it presents the same truths and in the same order. However, the Teach Us book uses simplified language and logic. It has endnotes that provide simple explanations of some terms and concepts found in the main text. The ASL translation of this publication has included these endnotes in the signing of the corresponding paragraph. The chapters do not have introductory questions or a review box. Instead, they conclude with a summary of Bible truths that were explained in the main text. Teach Us may be offered at any time, even if it is not being featured during the month. How may we use the unique features of Teach Us when conducting a Bible study?

SUMMARY: For most people, our usual method of conducting a study by watching the paragraph and then asking the question will serve quite well. If, however, the student does not understand the language well, you may choose to use the lesson summaries as the basis for the study and the student may be encouraged to watch the lesson in its entirety on his own. Since the summaries do not include details found in the main lesson, the teacher must prepare well, keeping in mind the needs of the student. If the teacher conducts the study from the main lesson, the summaries can be used as a review.

BOXES AND CHARTS: Boxes have been included for an expanded explanation of certain Bible truths. In addition, the charts will provide a visual element to help the student clearly understand the Bible teaching.
