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.

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.

Course format

Each week, students will read through one lesson with assignment elements to work on and meet together in a virtual classroom via Zoom. Students who enroll should expect to attend the class and complete each lesson 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 class projects 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.
The course requires about three–four hours per week from students. This includes reading the lesson, completing the assignment, and participating in the live class time.

Course requirements

Weekly Requirements: The course requires students to complete three tasks each week:
  1. Read the lesson content (about 1.5 hours)
  2. Complete the assignment(s) (about 1.5-2.5 hours)
  3. Participate in a live class (about 1 hour)
Assignments: Weekly assignments allow students to apply the principles they learn.
Assessment: After the final week of the course, students will turn-in a course project that will serve as an assessment.
Certificate: Students who successfully complete the course and pass the assessment will earn Biblearc’s Markup Certificate.
