The project develops, encourages and inspires believers to be biblical expositors. It explains and models a method for doing biblical exposition in formal and informal settings. Chapter 1 presents the purpose, goals, context, rationale, definitions, limitations, and research methodology of the project and a detailed outline.

Chapter 2 gives the biblical/theological justifications for doing biblical exposition. Specifically, how God is a speaking God who speaks through His people.

Chapter 3 sets forth the philosophical/practical mindset for becoming a biblical expositor. It expands the theological idea of God expositing Himself to His people necessitating men and women to become competent expositors themselves.

Chapter 4 explains the process and research methodology used to implement the project. The intent is to explain the process of doing the three progressive parts of the project.

Chapter 5 provides an evaluation of the project goals, along with suggested modifications to strengthen the project for future use.
