A series of lesson outlines primarily based on Dr. James M. Pendleton's book, Christian Doctrines: A Compendium of Theology. Additional lessons are included covering doctrinal topics not included in Christian Doctrines. The outlines were created by Elder John Keen Jr.

Lesson 2 - The Bible: A Revelation from God - What are the internal and external proofs that the Bible is really the Word of God?
