Doctrines Covered

Some of the larger pdf files below can only be viewed if downloaded to your harddrive and opened with acrobat reader.  Generally speaking, the pdf format of the doctrines in Samuel and later will be too large to open.  Those doctrines from the Pentateuch, for the most part, will open without any problems (they are much shorter).

Some of the older HTML files (added before October 2008) below will incorrectly display the Hebrew characters.   The PDF files will be accurate with respect to graphics and Hebrew in all cases.  However, if a pdf document is large, you may have to download it in order to read it (right click and choose "save link as"). 

This overall page was updated 12-10-08  It does not yet reflect all of the doctrines which have been covered in 2Samuel, which study I am in the middle of (however, these doctrines are updated in Old Testament Topics under the heading 2Samuel (all minor discussions of topics are named on that page as well).

Old Testament Topics html file (these are the topics which I have covered already in the exegesis that I have done; not all files are uploaded yet); however, many of the topics which we find listed here are a part of the exegetical study of the books I have examined.  There are now some hyperlinks to take you to the proper documents; however, in any case, this will tell you the book, chapter, and verse where you would go to see more on the topic listed.  By the way, there are nearly 100 pages in this document and line after line is simply another topic covered in the exegetical study of this or that book.  Updated 10-01-08 (there are still some psalms and chapters of books which I have not included yet).  This includes all of the topics covered in 2Samuel 6 and 7, which I just completed.

Old Testament Topics pdf file (these are the topics which I have covered already in the exegesis that I have done; not all files are uploaded yet).  This is probably too large to view from the internet and you may need to download it and open it up in Acrobat reader in order to read this listing of topics.

The topics which I covered in the book of Samuel are going to be covered in much greater detail than the topics which I covered in the Pentateuch books.

My most recent studies, including doctrines and exegesis, is located here.

Links to other Doctrines on the internet.  Let me also refer you to The List, which is a huge set of links to all the doctrinal churches I am aware of, as well as other doctrinal resources on the web.
