Course #1, Bible Study Methods and Rules of Interpretation trains you in a skill every disciple should develop. Over 12 weeks, you will learn how to systematically observe, interpret and apply the Scriptures in context. This lifelong skill is critical to faithful ministry in the Church and its value can not be overstated.
Students are not required to commit to the entire program up front. Students can participate in the Bible Study Methods course and then decide if they'd like continue with the 4 remaining courses of the training program.
BTCL'S 5 SEQUENTIAL COURSES
#1 BIBLE STUDY METHODS & RULES OF INTERPRETATION (40 Classroom hours)
This is a foundational, practical, skill-based class that instructs students how to observe, interpret and apply the Word of God. In this class there is a focus on personal application of the Word of Truth.
#2 OLD TESTAMENT SURVEY (60 Classroom hours)
This course provides a broad overview in which students read every word of the Old Testament discovering the structure, theme and message of each book. This course provides a clear understanding of the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament.
#3 NEW TESTAMENT SURVEY (60 Classroom hours)
Similar to Old Testament Survey, this course provides a broad overview in which students read every word of the New Testament discovering the structure, theme and message of each book. Through this study, we will see that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament Law and is the long awaited Messiah of Israel.
This course has an emphasis on personal applicational message of each book and reinforces dependence on the Word of God as the fundamental ministry resource.
#4 BIBLE DOCTRINE SURVEY (60 Classroom hours)
This course takes students from Genesis to Revelation looking at God's answer to 10 of life's biggest questions. There is an emphasis on knowing God more fully, while practicing sound theology. Students are equipped to reject false doctrine by focusing on Scriptural truth. As we study it will be important to affirm that correct belief must be reflected in correct behavior.
#5 PERSONAL AND CORPORATE SPIRITUAL LIFE (55 Classroom hours)
This course provides an overview of Bible-guided personal growth to maturity. Through the study of 37 topics, an individual disciple will learn what the Bible says about our everyday life and how we can wisely respond to that truth.
We then complete the training program with an overview of principles related to the nature, structure and function of the church, helping us understand the disciple's role as a member of the Body of Christ.
