Self-Paced ”Path Courses“


Our Path Courses represent the core work of our ministry. These courses equip students with the skills and knowledge to read the Bible faithfully and accurately. You can find our current Path Courses below, with more coming soon. Our Path Courses also include big rewards to encourage you to work hard and press on. May you earn them all!

Markup
The 7 Lenses of Bible Study
Click to learn more
Students of the Bible have been taking pen in hand to underline the text of Scripture and add notes to the margins of their Bibles for generations. Adding markups and notes is an effective way to slow down your reading in order to carefully observe what the text says and meditate on its meaning and implications for your life.

Biblearc’s Markup Course will equip believers with carefully composed strategies for marking up the text of Scripture. Employing these “lenses” in your study will empower you to behold far more than you might otherwise see.

Discovery!
Skillfully Use Your Bible
Click to learn more
We live in a time of overwhelming availability when it comes to Bible study resources. Yet most Christians have never been properly instructed on how to utilize these aids. The result is that they either do not use them, or use them without understanding—thinking they know what they do not actually know.

This course seeks to bridge the gap. It will train you to skillfully utilize Bible features and searches, with a focus on those available through Biblearc. From following cross-references to making sense of footnotes, from thoughtfully comparing Bible translations to searching Greek and Hebrew words, this course will equip you for making the best use of the tools available, while also shedding light on what you can and cannot know without further study.
Interpretation
Seeking a Biblical Hermeneutic
Click to learn more
Books and courses on interpreting the Bible abound in our day. What makes this course unique?

Answer: Our instructor is the Scripture itself.

In this course, you will learn how to read the Bible as the Bible itself demands to be read. In other words, this course will teach you to derive your hermeneutic of the Bible from the Bible, discovering the interpretive principles that the Bible itself sets forth—all that we might know God’s glory in Christ more as we allow the Word of God to be both our teacher and our textbook.
Phrasing
Tracing the Arguments of Scripture
Click to learn more
The Biblearc Phrasing course will teach students how to wrap their minds around a passage of Scripture by going through the Five Passes of Phrasing.  This includes dividing up the text of Scripture into its smallest grammatical units, indenting those units and drawing arrows between them to show relationships, labelling those relationships, and applying the main points of the passage to their lives.

This close and detailed grammatical study will lead to an accurate understanding of the author’s original intent in a passage, which we pray will culminate in joyful treasuring of and heartfelt obedience to Jesus Christ.
Bracketing
Determining Main Point and Structure
Click to learn more
This course lays out the foundational concepts and structures necessary to begin using the Bracketing Bible study method. Its aim is to equip students to find the main point of a text and to see how its propositions fit together, to the end of knowing God through the better understanding of his word. We will take a hands-on approach to learning as we work through the first chapter of Philippians together.
Arcing
Learning the Logic of the Bible
Click to learn more
This course lays out the foundational concepts and structures necessary to begin using the Arcing Bible study method. Arcing has been well-tested and found to be an excellent tool for digging deep in God's Word. Join us in a study that will challenge you to think harder and dive way below the surface as we work through the first chapter of James together.
Didactics
Preparing a Teaching from an Arc, Bracket or Phrase
Click to learn more
This course equips men with principles and insights on how to turn an arc, bracket or phrase into a teaching. Such Bible study methods are excellent tools for getting at the meaning of a text of Scripture, and yet training is still needed to properly and powerfully convey that meaning to others. Join us as we wrestle through aspects of authority and application, context and decisions, genres and cultures—in hopes of growing as faithful stewards of the word of God.
Treasury
Using Rich Resources in Bible Study
Click to learn more
The Biblearc Treasury course will teach students how to rightly use commentaries and other resources in both their personal Bible study and in preparing a message to teach or preach.

Looking for some guidance as to where to start, and where to go from there? Check out our self-paced tracks.

Original Language Path Courses
We also love the original languages, because there is no way to be more precise in Bible study than by peeling back the English to what is underneath. Learning Greek and Hebrew is hard, and yet anyone can do it. So, whether you are a preacher or post office worker, we invite you to take the challenge and learn. As with Path Courses, we will help you press on through big rewards.

Coaching Without a Course
If you have already learned a method like Arcing, Bracketing, or Phrasing, and you would like feedback on an arc, bracket, or phrase you’re working on outside a course, and you don’t currently have a coach in another course, you can enroll in “Coaching Without a Course” to have up to two 15-minute video calls per month discussing your work. Find out more on the course homepage.

Learning Resources Video Library
