The Bible Course

Very engaging, a good refresher! The course gives interesting perspectives on topics and stories we already know, and it is a fantastic tool for new Christians or new Bible readers.

The course does an excellent job in offering an overview of the Bible, highlighting the structure, the beauty, and the truth of the Word of God. The teaching style is clear and humorous, and the guide is presented in a modern and attractive way. This is an excellent tool for new believers and unsaved church attenders.

The content is clear and concise to be used at any age level. As a previous youth leader, this course would be very useful as a teaching tool. I would implement this as a series for both new believers and for those born and raised in the church, as there is some takeaway for each. The modern production and film techniques were enjoyable, and having the book to follow along with and for writing other notes was important.

I liked it a lot! It is very well presented, simple and clear. I loved the visual timeline that helps you see how the Bible unfolds. It’s helpful that each session is arranged into smaller sections, and combined with time for discussion and questions. The guide also comes in handy to understand the video lessons, it's uncomplicated, and I liked the recommended readings at each chapter. I appreciated how they suggest ways for you to continue studying the Bible after the course.

The Bible Course is a well-produced program that is presented well—both in the video segments and in the course manual—in a way that makes the content both interesting as well as very accessible to everyone regardless of their particular religious background and/or faith journey. The general response from those who participated was overwhelmingly positive.

Each session contains enough content to provide a good basic understanding of the topics at hand so that even the most casual participant can learn something without too much effort. At the same time, for those who may desire to get a little more out of the course, the directed daily Bible readings prescribed for the intervals between the sessions offer plenty of additional reading material.

I really enjoyed the series and will probably use it again in the future. The flow is excellent — going through the meta-narrative at this pace allowed people to see relationships between parts of Scripture. I found myself engaged in the presentation of each segment and could easily follow along to correspond to big ideas.

The Bible Course is well-structured to provide a good initial survey of the Bible, showing the inter-relationships among the various books and the significance of the overarching message and important themes found in the Bible. There is a good balance between the video content and the accompanying material in the course manuals that keeps the sessions interesting and yet very accessible even to those who may be unfamiliar with the Bible and its contents.

We held the course with a mix of young adults, teenagers, young families, single people, retired people. Many were active church going believers and we had a few who were brand new to the faith. I had an incredible positive feedback on the workbooks. We followed the suggested flow of 8 weeks, which was helpful considering the video and book matched perfectly and therefore easier for the participants to follow along during the sessions and during their personal readings at home.

Conducting the sessions was very straightforward, and other than watching the video segments beforehand, it didn’t require a lot of advance preparation in order to do it effectively. Nevertheless, previewing the video segments and session material is always advisable for the course facilitators so that they will be able to anticipate questions/comments that may arise and provide meaningful responses.

Truthfully this is an excellent material that really works well. It was such a great class, and we definitely have plans to implement it again in the future. The training videos and information were informing, well done, and very helpful in order to carry out the program. My co-facilitator and I would watch the video and read through the material before each session. I found that this best prepared us to know what we were to teach on that session, but the material by itself did spark a good amount of discussion. Overall, this is an excellent tool and I know our group really enjoyed them.
