Each guide answers a common Bible question from the perspective of the New World Translation, citing the relevant scriptures so you can verify every point for yourself — the identity of God and Jesus, the condition of the dead, the soul, God's Kingdom, and more. For a study of how the Hebrew Scriptures point to Jesus, see 44 messianic prophecies fulfilled in Jesus; for longer reflections, visit the JW Study blog.
