Scope & Structure

The Five Aspects of Man 2nd Edition (FAM2) Bible Study presents a complete Biblical theology of masculinity from Genesis all the way through Revelation in 15 lessons, plus an introductory lesson. The Bible study leads you through the examination of five passages of scripture that provide definitive and universal truths about men – each “angle on manhood” is called an “aspect.”  There are three lessons for each aspect: as it was created to be, as it is distorted by sin, and as it is redeemed in Christ. Ideally, this study can be completed within a semester’s time if one entire chapter is covered in a week. Each lesson is divided into five parts. The 5 Part Bible Study helps break the materials into manageable sections throughout the week. Or, if desired, you can throw the semester framework out the window and just take it one section at a time, moving at a slower pace. Regardless of your pace, the goal is to finish! All five aspects are essential to understanding biblical masculinity.

This Bible Study requires a significant degree of personal commitment of 3-5 hours a week to complete the Bible Study and, ideally, to meet with a men’s group for discussion and clarification on challenging topics. The difficulty of the material is equivalent to a challenging full semester college course and requires much thought and study. In its entirety, FAM2 not only teaches a thorough teaching on sexuality in Scripture, in the process it also teaches the essentials of the Biblical faith. FAM2 is an essential tool for grounding believers in God’s Word and the core doctrines of Christianity.
