Did Not Finish
December 26, 2022There was nothing wrong with this book, it just isn't the way I personally like to study Scripture.

Why am I reviewing a Bible Study on Titus for women? First, I heard many great things about this study and wanted to check it out. Second, our church has a lot of community groups but not a lot of Bible study groups. I wanted to see if this was a resource I could suggest. After reading and interacting with this study, it is one that I wholeheartedly recommend.
A Trustworthy Teacher
Author Keri Folmar is the wife of John Folmar, pastor of the United Christian Church of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. She is also the mother of three children. Interestingly, once as chief counsel of House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, she was a staff writer of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban.
Folmar knows how to write, but she lets Scripture do the talking in this 9-week BIble study. The basic steps of observation, interpretation, and application are highlighted for the reader. Generous white space is dedicated to interacting with the text. Folmar helps the reader by giving guidance in opening prayers and giving enough background when necessary, such as how the Bible uses interchangeable words for elder and overseer.
Titus 2
I had to see what Folmar presents in Titus 2, and she does not disappoint in asking the hard questions. For instance, she asks, “Explain why Biblical submission does not include the following, and describe how a wife could have an appropriately submissive attitude in the situation.”
She lists never disagreeing with your husband, engaging in sin because your husband asks you to, allowing abuse, and allowing adultery or pornography. While simply theoretical questions to some women, I am sure that there are some who will be experiencing these in their home. So Folmar does not shy away from these real-life scenarios, expecting her readers to engage with the Biblical text.
Written with Zeal
But it is not just in Titus 2 where she asks the hard questions. She challenges her readers throughout the book to really think about what the Bible says. She encourages everyone to wrestle with the text. There are questions for single women, married women, older women, and younger women. I benefitted from this study as a man, and I recommend it for anyone who is ready for serious study.
I was provided a complimentary copy of Zeal: A Bible Study on Titus for Women in exchange for an honest review.

This format was a simple, effective way to study the Bible. It was not so detailed that I was overwhelmed with the daily homework, like some inductive studies have made me feel. If I wasn't able to get all the homework done and only just reread Titus before our study group met, I didn't feel as if I was behind or couldn't contribute. The discussion questions helped spur on conversation in the small groups. I would enjoy doing another study in this same format. For those women who have trouble finding 10 minutes of alone time in a houseful of kids, this was a good format.

This is a 9 week bible study that just may work for the Women's Bible Study group I lead. This inductive study book would be completed at home during the week then our teaching team would give a lecture on the passage before the small groups discuss it. It is a solid biblical study with biblical doctrine we look for and gets women deeper into the word.

This was a great bible study! I really enjoy studies that help you get into a book with just a bible and some well thought out questions to help you think about what you are reading. There is no commentary at all - Just you, the bible and questions to answer. This study has really helped me to dig into the book of Titus and appreciate it and learn from it much more than if I just read through it. one critique I could make, is that some of the questions are quite repetitive in that you do one question and the next one is the same question worded differently. it happens a few times, but not enough to spoil the study.
