Tents, Temples, and PalacesThe books of the Old Testament are surveyed in this course, written by Rick Howard. This look at the Old Testament introduces us to the Creation, continues through the judgment of the Flood, and then picks up the theme of God’s chosen people, the seed of Abraham. The author discusses the writings of the Old Testament as an account of God’s dealing with the people He chose to use to bless the world. Many of the names, terms, and events that are often difficult to understand are addressed, along with questions pertinent to understanding the Old Testament period. |

Alive in ChristSalvation is the crucial subject of this course, written by David Duncan, and the definition is broadened to include everything that was purchased at Calvary. Salvation is shown to include not only the forgiveness of sins of the past and deliverance from the power of sin in the present, but also protection against the depredations that could be brought on by sins in the future. All of the spiritual needs of humanity are met by the redemption Christ provided on the cross. |

Understanding the BibleThe careful, methodical study of the Bible is the subject of this course. In the first part, author Dorothy Johns introduces principles, terminology, means of interpretation, and resources that are essential to all effective methods of Bible study. The devotional, topical, biographical, and whole-book methods of study are critiqued in the last section. While much in the course is necessarily an academic discussion of how to study the Bible, major emphasis is placed on the student’s spiritual improvement and how a systematic study of the Scriptures is the best means for achieving this goal. |

Counselor, Teacher, and GuideNear the end of Jesus’ ministry on earth, He told His disciples that the time was coming when He would not be with them. He said, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth” (John 14:16–17). Jesus was speaking of the Holy Spirit. In this course, author William Farrand will acquaint you with the ways the Holy Spirit helps you, in the same way Jesus helped people when He was here on earth. |

The Kingdom, The Power, and The GloryThe New Testament, the new agreement God made with humanity through His Son, Jesus Christ, is the subject of this course written by Jean-Baptiste Sawadogo and Marcia Munger. This survey of the New Testament brings a realization that God speaks authoritatively to the church and the world today, just as He did in the New Testament and throughout the course of history. The information contained in this course will help provide a fuller understanding of New Testament truths and the reliable manner in which they were transmitted to us. A study of this course will enable students to teach others about the Word of God in a greatly enhanced fashion. |

Cornerstones of TruthAs you have probably discovered, the teachings in the Bible are not presented according to topics. For example, the book of Genesis does not give us a complete explanation of the Godhead, nor does any other single book. An important way to study the Bible is to find all the teachings related to a certain topic. Authors Floyd Woodworth Jr. and David Duncan will follow this kind of systematic study to see what the Scriptures teach about the universe and its Ruler, about humankind and the structure God has chosen for human development. Students will also discover what the Bible has to say about the future. |
