Accessing 'Explore the Bible' Resources: Availability and Options

Overview

'Explore the Bible' resources are designed to aid Bible study by providing comprehensive materials focused on specific books and chapters. However, availability may vary based on the format and edition you're looking for. Below is everything you need to know about accessing current and archived 'Explore the Bible' resources, as well as digital formats.

This policy applies to both standard and large-print editions, ensuring accessibility for diverse reader preferences.

Current and Upcoming Availability

Most 'Explore the Bible' resources are part of an ongoing curriculum. Typically, only the current and upcoming volumes are available for purchase. For example, as of now, volumes for Summer 225 and Fall 225 are available. Older volumes are out of print and not reprinted after they sell out.

Additionally, quarterly materials like the 'Explore the Bible' series are available only during their specific quarter (e.g., June–August for Summer). For upcoming quarters, study plans and details about the content covered are provided. For example, the 'Explore the Bible Adult' series will cover the book of Psalms in the 4th quarter. You can access the study plan here.

Availability of Archived and Special Studies

Archived or older materials, including volumes that focus on special studies such as Acts chapters 13-28 (Fall 224), are generally out of print and unavailable for purchase. Similarly, unique studies covering specific content like Acts chapters 13-15 are not offered in eBook formats.

Similarly, 'The Gospel Project' volumes follow the same out-of-print policy, with only current and next volumes available for purchase.
