Phrasing *Revised*

Many of those who take a language course—even at a seminary level—never advance to the place of being able to take up their Greek testament and simply read with competence.

Biblearc’s Greek Cross-Training course aims to train you for fruitful reading of God’s word in the original languages.

Philippians

Greek Cross-Training

Many of those who take a language course—even at a seminary level—never advance to the place of being able to read from the Hebrew Bible with competence.

Biblearc’s Hebrew Cross-Training course aims to train you for this very thing. Why? Because sound exegesis matters, and because we love the Word of God.

Genesis 1-11

Hebrew Cross-Training

This course seeks to equip students with the ability to read and understand the NT in Koine Greek, its original language. It’s aimed at students who don’t have any knowledge of Greek, and it intends to take them from that starting point to an ability to read and translate all non-verb elements of Koine Greek as well as non-finite verbs (finite verbs will be introduced in Greek II). The course emphasizes reading the NT in Greek, learning the fundamentals of Greek grammar well, and equipping students to use Greek in order to understand and teach the NT better. In all of this, the course seeks to magnify Jesus through the NT in its original language.

Ephesians 1-3

Selections from Isaiah

The Biblearc Paraphrase course will help students improve their personal study of Scripture by developing skills in careful reading, discerning the main point, creating an outline, and writing a summary and paraphrase. The course will acquaint students with a variety of tools and methods involved in each discipline and will provide guided practice aimed at honing these skills. As paraphrasing is itself a tool for (and a test of) understanding, the ultimate aim is that students grow in the sound handling of Scripture. This means study rooted in prayerful meditation, leading to an accurate understanding, which then stirs a heartfelt treasuring, which prompts an eager obedience to the Word of God.

The LIVE course will run from Jan 17 to March 21
Class time: Tue 8pm ET

Reading Toward a Better Understanding

Paraphrase LIVE

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.

The LIVE course will run from Jan 18 to March 22
Class time: Wed 9am ET

Determining Main Point and Structure

Bracketing LIVE

This course equips men with principles and insights on how to turn an arc, bracket or phrase into a teaching. Such Bible study methods are excellent tools for getting at the meaning of a text of Scripture, and yet training is still needed to properly and powerfully convey that meaning to others. Join us as we wrestle through aspects of authority and application, context and decisions, genres and cultures—in hopes of growing as faithful stewards of the word of God.

— Restricted to Men —

Live classes: Mon 1pm ET // Jun 5 - Aug 14

Preparing a Teaching from an Arc, Bracket, or Phrase

Didactics LIVE

The Biblearc Phrasing course will teach students how to wrap their minds around a passage of Scripture by going through the Five Passes of Phrasing.  This includes dividing up the text of Scripture into its smallest grammatical units, indenting those units and drawing arrows between them to show relationships, labeling those relationships, and applying the main points of the passage to their lives.

This close and detailed grammatical study will lead to an accurate understanding of the author’s original intent in a passage, which we pray will culminate in joyful treasuring of and heartfelt obedience to Jesus Christ.

The LIVE course will run from Apr 21 – Jul 1.
Class time options: Thu 8pm ET or Fri 9am ET.

Tracing the Arguments of Scripture

Phrasing LIVE (retired)

This course lays out the foundational concepts and structures necessary to begin using the Arcing Bible study method. Arcing has been well-tested and found to be an excellent tool for digging deep in God's Word. Join us in a study that will challenge you to think harder and dive way below the surface as we work through the first chapter of James together.

The LIVE course will run from Sept 9 - Nov 18
Class time options: Friday 9am or 12pm ET.
