| About Our Ministry
Paraklete Press was founded by Elizabeth C. Chapman in 1989, who saw a need for BIble Studies based on the Lectionary Scripture selections read every Sunday in many Churches. These studies help make the Scriptures easier to understand, explain historical and cultural background and encourage the participants to apply these Scriptures to their daily lives.
The name "Paraklete" is the word the New Testament uses to describe the Holy Spirit, and the meaning of the word in Greek is "One who is called beside" or is sometimes translated "helper." Our goal is to help Christians of all denominations who are seeking to know the Lord more intimately by acquainting themselves with the Scriptures. |
