The Adult Formations Learner's Study Guide helps adults apply Scripture to their daily lives. The study guide equips the learner to explore, discover, and experience vital Christian faith. It provides useful Bible background materials and illustrations, as well as connection with the Access Bible, published by Oxford University Press.

Adult Formations is designed to help adults study Scriptures within the context of the larger Christian tradition and, through that process, find faith renewed, challenged, and strengthened. We study Scriptures because we believe they affect our current lives in important ways. Our format is in five movements:

Reflecting engages readers with a contemporary story, anecdote, example, or illustration to pique their interest in the session as well as help them anticipate the session’s relevance in their lives. This section should summarize the session's focus.

Remembering provides a frame of reference for the Scriptures. It considers what happens in the verse just prior to the assigned Scripture and what immediately follows. It also provides information about the circumstances of the original audience.

Studying centers on the authoritative influence of the Scriptures. In this movement, the biblical material receives in-depth attention and is often accompanied by helpful insights from theology, ethics, church history, and other areas.

Understanding helps us find relevant connections between our lives and the biblical message. The truths we discover help us recognize where God is calling us toward change, renewal, commitment, or action.

What about Me? provides brief statements that help unite life issues with the meaning of the biblical text. These statements are brief, summarizing the major themes of the session.

Several features are common to each session of Adult Formations. The first page of each week's Bible study session contains the session Scripture, Core Highlights, and a Central Question.

The Large Print Learner's Study Guide presents all the Bible study content in the Learner’s Study Guide in a convenient 6 x 9 size.
