Biblearc Path Courses

The place for learning deeper study of Scripture

Biblearc exists to equip the church to follow Jesus through the faithful and accurate study of his Word. To that end, our Biblearc EQUIP subscription service provides both live and self-paced Bible study courses, along with a learning resources video library. Our courses are dynamic and ever-expanding, with multiple levels of interactivity including personal coaching. Course topics range from Bible study methods to book studies to the original languages.

Online learning does not mean learning alone.
This is what our LIVE courses are all about. While live, these courses allow you to engage at a deeper level within the Biblearc community and with Biblearc instructors, with weekly classroom times over Zoom. They are also an excellent way to stay accountable to push forward in the courses through the busyness of life. Currently, our LIVE courses include:


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. Many of our Path Courses have already been released (see 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!

Paraphrase
Reading Toward a Better Understanding
Click to learn more
The Biblearc Paraphrase course will help students improve their personal study of Scripture by developing skills in careful reading, discerning the main point, creating an outline, and writing a summary and paraphrase. The course will acquaint students with a variety of tools and methods involved in each discipline and will provide guided practice aimed at honing these skills. As paraphrasing is itself a tool for (and a test of) understanding, the ultimate aim is that students grow in the sound handling of Scripture. This means study rooted in prayerful meditation, leading to an accurate understanding, which then stirs a heartfelt treasuring, which prompts an eager obedience to the Word of God.

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.

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.
