A verse-by-verse Bible study class, containing an AI-generated discussion on the specified passage. This study covers Matthew 1:1-17. The host and (human) producer of this study is Scott Sperling.

Topics covered: Significance of the use of the word "geneology" or "generation" in verse 1 -- Significance of name "Jesus" and the title "Christ" -- Significance of the mention of Abraham and David -- The meaning of "begot" -- Significance of the inclusion of some women in the genealogy -- The careful wording of verse 16 -- Possible reasons for breaking the genealogy up in groups of 14 -- A big-picture view of what the geneology means to us.

The AI portion of the study is generated by an AI tool, which has been trained with (what the producer considers to be) the best commentaries on this book of the Bible (including D. A. Carson, Leon Morris, Grant Osborne, Albert Barnes, Charles Spurgeon, Johann Lange, Craig Keener, et. al).

A full list of commentaries that are used to train the AI for this study can be found here:
