Kay Lee Arthur was an American Christian author, Bible teacher, and co-founder of Precept Ministries International. Renowned for her accessible and inductive approach to Bible study, she helped millions engage deeply with Scripture. Arthur began her ministry informally, teaching teenagers in her living room alongside her second husband, Jack Arthur. Their work soon grew into a global outreach, headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, under the name Precept Ministries International. She hosted the daily Bible teaching program Precepts for Life and became a respected voice in evangelical circles. Arthur authored numerous books and was a four-time winner of the ECPA Christian Book Award for titles such as A Marriage Without Regrets and The New Inductive Study Bible. Her ministry was rooted in a personal reawakening to faith in the early 1960s, following a divorce and a return to religious life. She and Jack also served briefly as missionaries in Mexico before founding their ministry. Arthur remained active in public faith-based initiatives into her later years and was known for her firm stances on social issues. She passed away on 2025 leaving behind a lasting legacy in Christian education and publishing.
In the 20yrs I have been a believer, this is the best bible study I have ever done. Leviticus is extremely interesting and full of wonderful information to pull the entire redemptive story together and this method of pulling scripture apart is such a great way to study the Bible. After a few of the accompanying videos my entire group just sat speechless over what we had learned the prior week in homework, discussion and video. Highly recommend.
Of all the Precept studies I have done thus far, this one has to be the most intense because of the pace. That said, I highly recommend this study. Proper understanding of the New Testament requires understanding of the Old Testament. Proper understanding of the Old Testament requires understanding of the Torah. So many of the issues raised by the Old Testament prophets go back to Leviticus. It is all about being holy. "You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy." What are Christians? We are saints, holy ones in the Greek. Leviticus is full of insights into holiness. My only caution relates to scheduling. Some of the lessons are intense, and it might be prudent to schedule two-weeks of preparation time for them.
