Return to Bible Study Page

For many years the church that Herbert Armstrong founded produced a comprehensive Bible study for both church members and listeners alike. It was produced by Ambassador College. Over the years, the course has undergone several makeovers and this is the last version before Armstron's death. The quality, doctrinal soundness and thoroughness of the course deteriorated drastically in subsequent years, as the church's vision and purpose became clouded and strayed further and further from that of Armstrong. Soon the course was withdrawn for "revison" and never published again.

The Editors sadly must report that Mr. Armstrong's successors to the office of Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God have repudiated his teachings to such an extent that he has was called a "heretic" by one WCG official in October, 1998. The present day WCG now considers the church as founded by Armstrong to be a cult, in the pejorative sense of the word. Any student of this Bible study material who contacts the WCG for further information will be subjected to materials and doctrines which are, to say the least, at odds with these Lessons. Instead, it is strongly suggested that the student seek out the various Churches of God that have remained faithful to the fundamental doctrines as developed by Mr. Armstrong.
