The study begins with a straightforward Biblical theology outline in the first week, focusing on the theme of the Lord as our Shepherd. The reader explores this theme from the front cover of the Bible to the back, with an appendix providing a sample outline for further exploration.

In the second week, the study delves into Psalm 23 in depth, examining each verse and highlighting the various aspects of our Shepherd that are revealed within it. The homework questions assist the reader in studying these passages verse-by-verse, encouraging a deeper understanding. Throughout the study, other passages of the Bible are explored, correlating with specific verses of Psalm 23 and shedding light on different aspects of our Shepherd. Examples include studying John 10 to understand Jesus as the Shepherd, Ezekiel 34:11–31 to explore the pasture provided to us, Psalm 30 to discuss restoration by the Shepherd, and Romans 4:13–5:2 to discover our righteousness found in the Shepherd.
