¹⁶ Writers in various lands prepared material that was carefully put in final form for the Knowledge book. It should therefore have international appeal. But will it be long before this new publication is released in the languages of people around the world? No, because a 192-page book can be translated more quickly than larger books. By October 1995, the Writing Committee of the Governing Body had approved the translation of this book from English into over 130 languages.

17. What factors should make it easy to use the Knowledge book?

¹⁷ Specifics in each chapter of the Knowledge book should enable students to make fairly rapid spiritual progress. The book presents Scriptural truths in an upbuilding way. It does not dwell on false doctrines. Clarity of language and logical development should make it easy to use the book to conduct Bible studies and help people to get a grasp of the knowledge of God. Besides quoted scriptures, there are cited Bible texts that the student can look up in preparation for the discussion. These may be read during the study as time permits, although it would be unwise to bring in additional material that could becloud the main points. Rather, those conducting Bible studies should try to discern and convey to the student what the book is proving in each chapter. This means that the teacher must study diligently, so that the main thoughts are very clear in his mind.

19. Before conducting Bible studies in the Knowledge book, why would it be helpful to review pages 175 to 218 in Organized to Accomplish Our Ministry?

¹⁹ The Knowledge book was written with the objective of helping a person to answer all the questions that the elders review with unbaptized publishers desiring to get baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses. Hence, before you switch your present Bible studies to this new publication, it is recommended that you spend a few hours reviewing the questions on pages 175 to 218 of the book Organized to Accomplish Our Ministry.a This will help you to stress the answers to such questions during Bible studies in the Knowledge book.
