Casket Empty Bible Studies
CASKET EMPTY is an acronym that helps you learn the Bible with Jesus at the center. CASKET represents the Old Testament (Creation, Abraham, Sinai, Kings, Exile, and Temple), and EMPTY represents the New Testament (Expectations, Messiah, Pentecost, Teachings, and Yet-to-come). The acronym CASKET EMPTY points to the resurrection of Jesus (the “empty casket”) as the center of God’s plan of redemption.
The two main CASKET EMPTY Bible Studies trace the story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation with eighteen weeks in the Old Testament and fourteen weeks in the New Testament. Structured around the acronym CASKET EMPTY, these studies will transform they way you read the Bible.
“This was the first time I had done a serious study that looked at the Bible as a whole unified story of God‘s relationship to his creation and creatures. The study gave me a new perspective on the unity of Scripture and the consistency of its message. Emphasis on the repeating themes of the biblical story provided valuable lessons and mnemonics for helping it solidify to memory.” Greg, Vienna Presbyterian Church
“Carol Kaminski and David Palmer have such an enthusiastic approach and love of the Scripture. I am grateful they have spent so much time studying the Bible and breaking it down for the lay person to comprehend.” Leslie, Vienna Presbyterian Church

The Casket Empty Bible studies are ideal for small groups or as a church-wide curriculum. The series is built around two visual Bible Timelines - one for the Old Testament and the other for the New Testament, along with companion Study Guides that walk you through each period of the Old and New Testament and Bible MAPS that help you locate key places. Bible study videos by Carol Kaminski (Old Testament) and David Palmer (New Testament) provide in-depth teaching for leaders and anyone wanting to learn more about the Bible. Other resources are available, including PowerPoints, bookmarks, invite cards, and promotional banners.

FROM OUR BLOG
When I was at seminary some thirty years ago, I took a class by Dr. Greg Beale called “The Old Testament in the New.” It was not only a great class, but I came away with a renewed vision for the importance of the Old Testament for our understanding of the New Testament. The book edited by Dr. Beale on this important topic has a series of essays on the use of the Old Testament in the New.[1] One article in the book estimates that there are close to 300 references to the Old Testament in the New Testament in 352 verses. The author notes further that when clear allusions to the Old Testament are taken into consideration, more than 10 percent of the New Testament is made up of either a direct quote or an allusion to the Old Testament . . .
New City Church, NC, Uses Casket Empty in Their Discipleship Program
An Introductory Note from Dr. Kaminski:
Last year I had the privilege of visiting New City Academy in Charlotte, NC. New City Church made the decision to use the Casket Empty curriculum as part of their discipleship program. Every Wednesday night more than one hundred people gather to study the Old Testament using the Casket Empty Bible Study. It was a blessing to speak at their final week and to see so many people committed to learning the Old Testament! Praise God!
As we reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus during Holy Week, I’m reminded that the Old Testament resounds with the sure hope that a son of David would one day rule on God’s throne. After hundreds of years of waiting, the New Testament is filled with the good news that Jesus is the promised Son of David, born in Bethlehem in accordance with God’s promises of old (Matt 1:1-17; 2:1-12; Luke 1:26-38; 2:1-20).
When Jesus enters Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, he is praised as the Son of David in fulfillment of Zachariah’s prophecy that the coming king would enter Jerusalem, humble and mounted on a donkey (Zech 9:9-10; cf. Matt 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-14). The crowds shout out: “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” (Mark 11:10). We, too, shout out, “Hosanna!”
But there’s another promise given to David that is often overlooked . . .
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of teaching a course on Genesis in Argentina at a seminary called the Facultad de Teología Integral (FTIBA). Dr. Pablo Polischuk, Senior Professor of Pastoral Counseling at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, is president of the newly formed seminary in Buenos Aires, and two former students of mine are administrators and teach there. It was such a blessing to reconnect with them and to see how God is blessing this ministry, as they work tirelessly and sacrificially to provide theological education for the next generation of leaders. I am also thankful for the translators who not only translated my lectures into Spanish, but they even tracked with me as I taught Hebrew exegesis in Genesis! I was blessed by the warm hospitality, and amazing food—wow!!
