William Groom’s Bible Course contains sixty-five biblical lessons, one for nearly
every book of the Bible. After its publication in 1921, beginning Bible students used the
textbook as an introduction to biblical studies and how to approach them. In the very
first pages of the book, in fact, Groom advises his readers to keep it “near your Bible and
use it every day.” Today, some Christians continue to use and find insight in Groom’s
Bible Course. Those who do use it are often associated with fundamentalist and
King James Only movements within Protestant Christianity. Whether for biblical study
or simply surveying a particular movement in American Christianity, The Genesis to
Revelation Bible Course will provide readers with a rich resource.
