The Bible Study Hour has been preparing Christians to think and act biblically for decades. Dr. Boice’s clear yet careful preaching equips and encourages tens of thousands listeners by terrestrial radio, Internet broadcasts and here in the palm of your hand. James Montgomery Boice was a successful inner-city pastor and an articulate statesman for the Reformed faith in America and around the world. He was the pastor of Philadelphia’s Tenth Presbyterian Church, and his teaching continues to be aired on The Bible Study Hour. The Bible Study Hour is a ministry of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals. The Alliance exists to call the twenty-first century church to a modern reformation that recovers clarity and conviction about the great evangelical truths of the Gospel and that then seeks to proclaim these truths powerfully in our contemporary context. This app features the expository preaching of Dr. James Montgomery Boice and exists to help prepare one to think and act biblically!
