Christianity must be taught for someone to become a Christian. One is not “born” into Christianity; one must be “born again” into Christ. Jesus, himself, stated it this way in His Great Commission:
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19-20, ESV)
Teaching people to observe all that Jesus commands is a lifetime challenge. WBS has had decades of experience with teaching people the Gospel. In recent years, WBS has been able to publish advanced courses that help Christians to observe all that Jesus wants us to observe in New Testament Christianity.
We call these courses our “Bible Curriculum” which provide individuals and churches with affordable and trustworthy Bible study curriculum written in convenient 13-week (quarterly) courses.
WBS Bible Curriculum courses provide deep and insightful studies into great Biblical truths. Whether exploring Old or New Testament passages, each study is rooted in the perspective Jesus brings to the Word.

In this episode of One More Chapter, Brian Rex Davis, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis continue their study of biblical “principle”, explaining how general teachings give inclusive guidance that can be applied in various ways, while specific commands are authoritative and must shape belief and practice.
This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study by introducing the idea of “principle” as a way to bridge what a passage originally meant and what it means today, after first stressing purpose and context. The team takes a long–but useful–detour into Bible translations and versions—covering textual preservation, the spectrum from word-for-word to paraphrase, group vs. single-translator work, Dead Sea Scrolls, and which editions they personally use (NASB 1995, ESV, NIV 1984, etc.). The discussion on ‘principle’ will continue in the next episode!
This episode explores how understanding the purpose behind a Bible passage helps bridge the gap between what it originally meant and how it should shape life today. Brian, Noah, and Bryson discuss how purpose protects against shallow, checklist-style interpretation and helps distinguish enduring principles and examples from incidental details.
Brian Rex Davis sits down with Sahadevudu Vanga of India, a fellow missionary since gospel meetings in 1995. They talk about World Bible School’s renewed work in India and the effort to put Telugu translations and advanced courses—especially The Kingdom of God—into digital form. The conversation also covers family ministry, cultural care in a changing India, and tools that serve the next generation of the church.
