The Holy Bible: The World’s Best Seller

Is Biblical faith blind? Does faith have an object? Is there substance and evidence for Biblical faith? What does the Bible say?

How do you know the value of a dollar bill? Didn’t someone tell you its value? You heard what was said about it. You saw people use it. Then you wanted a dollar of your own. You used your dollar and told other people of its value.

Is it the same thing with knowing God? How do we discover His value, His worth?

God gave us people to tell us. God gave us a written record for verification. God protected His message from centuries of opposition.

The Holy Bible: some say it is the Owner’s Manual for life, written by the Designer and Creator of people.

The Holy Bible is “the unique book,” unlike any other. People have used the words in it to establish nations. Throughout much of history, the character of many people has been shaped by reading it. Everybody seems to have their own ideas and opinions about it.

What does it actually say? Do you know the central themes? Does your education include this most significant book?

This course is an objective overview of the Bible

Many people have found it engaging and informative. Decide for yourself what you believe about the Bible.

To give you the material for informed decisions, we need about 16 hours of your time. You may preview the content — please feel free to ask us.

The truth has nothing to fear from scrutiny. Bring your questions. You will find many of them answered in the course. If you have more questions after the course, we will be glad to direct your research toward serious answers.

Each chapter builds understanding based on the previous lesson, so you won’t want to miss a class. Resources are available to help you easily make up a missed lesson. While we will give you time to think about what you learn, we will work to keep up the momentum of the course so that it comes together as a cohesive study with a clear end.

No prior knowledge of the Bible is required

The course is designed to include those who have little prior Bible experience or a lot. There are explanations of jargon and terminology along with opportunities to ask questions and explore serious answers. The course is also very informative for people who have invested a lifetime of studying the Bible. Because the course builds from the known toward the unknown, the content may seem familiar at first, but you will not be disappointed.
