Around 605 B.C., Pharaoh Necho "conceived the notion
of canalizing the Wady Tumilat by cutting a waterway, 'the canal of
the east,' probably from the Kharom Lake midway along its length to
the northern tip of the Gulf of Suez... The intent of this ambitious
operation was to be able to operate freely on both Nile and Red Sea,
and possibly open up alternative avenues of attack on Mesopotamia."

Not long ago, my son Jason suggested I write a study
guide designed for teens and young adults to accompany my novel, The Brotherhood of the Scroll. In our conversations, we
agreed that such a study guide be designed to address the following
three objectives:
1. How is the Old Testament relevant to Christ’s teachings?
2.
How can a bunch of stories about people and places I know nothing about be relevant to my life?
3. What spiritual and moral lessons can I learn from reading this novel and understanding the historical and biblical background upon which it is based?
The Study Guide to The Brotherhood of the Scroll is not designed to be an exhaustive study of the books of II Kings, Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel. As a scriptural reference source, it barely skims the surface. It is not my intention to suggest potential alternative interpretations to scriptures which I cite. However, for the person who wants to know “Where do I find the stuff the author is talking about in the Bible,” it will provide a start.
Part II of This Study Guide
provides a brief
historical background of the period covered in the novel. Included here is a
list of the kings of Judah who reigned during the ministry of Jeremiah, as well
as a timeline of events. The heart of the study guide is Part III, in which there are nine lessons – one lesson for each set of chapters associated with a “Chronicles of Belteshazzar.” These nine lessons are:
Speaking Out for What is Right
God’s Plan for Your Life
God Wants Us to Live a Moral Life
Willingly Paying the Cost to Serve Others
Do You Place Your Faith in God, or Man?
Why Tolerance is Wrong if it Means Compromising Your Faith
To Pray or Not To Pray – That is the Question
The Power of Your Personal Testimony
Turning Over Control of Your Life to Christ
One final piece of structure is provided for each lesson. Each Lesson Chapter will have the following seven sections:
The Historical Context
What Was The Author Thinking?
Key Lesson
Novel Excerpt
Scripture reference
Discussion questions
Call to action
This study guide is designed for use either as an individual study guide or to aid in facilitating group discussion. I have attempted to provide the various scripture references I consulted in developing the novel. So, for the person who asks “Where is this in the Bible?” he or she will be able to find the answer. For those who wish to facilitate group discussion, the questions I have posed are designed to apply to people living in a Postmodern America. Though not designed exclusively for a high school/young adult audience, the reader will find that many of the questions have these two age groups in mind.
