For those who desire to dig deeper than ever before...
For those who love (or want to love) the Christian classics...
For those unafraid of wrestling through the tough passages...
For those ready to submit their theology to every single verse...
For those eager to be stretched in their understanding of Christ...
This LIVE course track is for you.
For over a year now, Biblearc has regularly published LIVE courses. Students go through these courses together, completing one assignment per week, with weekly LIVE video classes with an instructor. We have found this to be the most effective way for students to succeed.
But we are always looking for ways to make things even better! So in 2023, we will present three brand-new tracks of rigorous online LIVE courses. One of those tracks is aimed at a large number of our users—perhaps including you: those who always wanted to go to seminary.
Wednesdays @ 9am ET
Throughout 2023
Courses...
Bracketing (10 weeks, Jan—Mar) 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.
Confessions (6 weeks, Apr—May) Augustine, the most influential theologian in Christian history after the apostle Paul, reviews God’s work in his life in a prayer of praise. As we travel with him through his memories of God’s grace, we learn about the nature of sin, salvation, and of God himself.
Isaiah’s Most Difficult Passages (10 weeks, Jun—Aug) In this course, we will utilize the Bracketing Bible study method learned earlier in the track to explore some tough passages in the wonderful book of Isaiah. In doing so, we will stretch the depths of our understanding of the entire Bible and marvel at the glory of Jesus promised and revealed.
Romans 9-11 (10 weeks, Sep—Nov) These chapters answer many questions believers wrestle with about the nature of salvation and the people of God: What is God’s sovereignty? How about free will? How does Israel relate to the church? In this course, we will test and refine our theology by exploring these topics, again using Bracketing.
On the Incarnation (3 weeks, Dec) Over the Christmas season, read Athanasius, one of the greatest of the Eastern Fathers, and discover how not only the death but also the life of Christ is vital for our salvation. Rejoice in Christ’s victory not only over sin but also over death!
And there will be others who follow this track of Bible study with you next year, our desire being that you would become a cohort, a team of students who encourage each other and carry each other further into the knowledge of God than you could have gone on your own.
