Paraphrase LIVE

Testing and Proving an Interpretation

The Biblearc Paraphrase course will help students improve their Bracketing or Arcing skills by testing out their understanding through restatement. Using the skills of paraphrasing and summarizing, students will function like detectives investigating the truths of God’s word by testing and proving their theories. These skills are crucial for thinking and interpreting. The aim of this course is, therefore, that students would grow in the sound handling of Scripture through better reading and more careful study, for hotter worship and more eager obedience to the Word of God.

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.

Prerequisites

Successful completion of either Arcing or Bracketing. If you have learned one of these study Bible methods elsewhere, that is also acceptable.

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:
  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 take a one-hour comprehensive assessment.
Certificate: Students who successfully complete the course and pass the assessment will earn Biblearc’s Paraphrase Certificate (see sample). If you do not pass an assessment, you may retry after one week’s time.
