Dawn, thank you so much for sharing this. I think many leaders underestimate the impact a Bible study author can have. I pray the Lord will give you discernment and wisdom as you make your curriculum selections for the coming year.

I’m the women’s ministry director now, but previously when i was not involved in selecting Bible studies, we had two which really bothered me. One had a different eschatological view. You’d think that wouldn’t matter, but it did. It showed up in how the author discussed the coming kingdom of God, and whose responsibility it is to bring it in, God’s or ours. Her stance was antithetical to our church statement of faith.

The other author did not state what her doctrinal position is, what church she attends, or who is her spiritual authority. She is not married, appears to have no accountability for her teaching other than the publisher.

I’m a seminary grad, and these things really bother me. Unfortunately the other ladies did not seem bothered. But now I’m the director, and am I’m the midst of choosing curriculum for the coming year.

So I deeply appreciate this guidance.
