Bracketing LIVE

Determining Main Point and Structure

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.

An online, interactive course
Our core courses, called “Path Courses,” are designed to lead you deeper in your study of Scripture through academic rigor and a heart of worship. We provide courses along the entire spectrum of Bible study training so that there might be something for everyone—both new believers and veteran pastors, stay-at-home moms and missionaries. These courses are conveniently online and include personal coaching, feedback on assignments, big rewards, and more. All of this to help you persevere to the end and truly learn to study the scriptures in greater depth. Our classroom also covers the globe, giving you the opportunity to participate in a truly unique form of fellowship. Finally, path courses are built to equip you to use Biblearc’s extensive Bible study toolbox so you can go on to discover new biblical glories for yourself.
About the "putting it together" series
On the foundation of keen observation skills and biblical interpretation principles, this series puts the focus on the central study objective of our efforts—discerning what the text means. Included here are the preferred Bible study methods of some of the best Bible teachers of our day—methods that help us see how texts grammatically and logically connect, taught in a way so that any serious Christian can learn.

Course format
Each week, students will read through one lesson, complete an assignment, and meet together in a virtual classroom via Zoom. Students who enroll should expect to attend the class and complete each lesson and assignment on time.
During the live class time, a teacher will teach new content based on that week’s lesson, facilitate group discussions, and lead students through exercises and passages that apply the skills and knowledge taught by the lesson. Students will also be able to sign up for one-on-one coaching times with their coach.
Course requirements
Weekly Requirements: The course requires students to complete three tasks each week:
Read the lesson content (about 1.5 hours)
Complete the assignment (about 1-1.5 hours)
Participate in a live class (about 1 hour)
Assignments: Weekly assignments force students to apply the material they learn.
Assessment: During the final week of the course, students will prepare to take a one-hour assessment. Successfully passing the assessment requires a high degree of understanding and is meant to serve as a motivation to take your study seriously as well as a catalyst to improve the standard of Bible study in the Biblearc community.
Certificate: Students who successfully complete the course and pass the assessment will earn Biblearc’s Bracketing Certificate (see sample). They will also earn exciting rewards. If you do not pass an assessment, you may retry after one week’s time.
Dates
This live class meets on Wednesdays at 8am or 9pm ET (your choice) from February 5rd – April 9th.
