Markup

The 7 Lenses of Bible Study

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.

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 have laid out fifteen different 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.

Workload
This course is composed of ten lessons. Each lesson contains interactive questions throughout and ends with an assignment. A single lesson will take the average student three to four hours to complete. Students are invited to progress at their own pace, but we encourage you to make a plan for steady progress and to stick to that plan. Your coach will inquire as to your intended pace shortly after you begin and help keep you accountable to stay on schedule.
Assessment
Path courses all end with an assessment to determine your grasp of the skills learned and material covered. Students will turn-in a course project (outlined in lesson 1) that will serve as an assessment. Successfully passing an 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.
Students who successfully complete the course and pass the assessment will earn Biblearc’s Markup Certificate (see sample). They will also earn exciting rewards.
If you do not pass an assessment, you may retry after one week’s time.
