DISCIPLE III What's it all about?
From the Disciple III "Handbook" (available from Rev. Lindsay Armstrong, 404-228-7713, email: larmstrong@firstpresatl.org):
Remember Who You Are concentrates on the Old Testament prophets and the letters of Paul.
The prophets and Paul are continually calling their hearers and readers back to
their God and to a sense of who they are as a "set apart" people.
Old Testament: The prophets and community cannot be separated. The prophets spoke for God, out of the community, to the community. . . . To establish the historical context in which the prophets spoke for God, daily reading assignments draw also on the [historical] books of Deuteronomy through Chronicles. Study of the prophets will follow their historical sequence rather than their biblical sequence.

DISCIPLE IV: UNDER THE TREE OF LIFE
A 32-week study of Old Testament Writings and the Gospel of John; 1,2,3 John; James; Jude and Revelation in the New Testament. This phase of Disciple is available to adult graduates of DISCIPLE: BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY. It continues to call clergy and laity to serious, disciplined Bible study that will result in development of biblically nourished servant-leaders.
