The Bible Course
An eight-session course helping you explore the BIG story.
Big, complex, old … just some of the words people use to describe the Bible. Sound familiar? That’s where The Bible Course comes in. The course will increase your confidence, equip you to read the Bible better and help you to see its relevance to daily life. The course provides a birds-eye view of the world’s bestselling book.
Over eight interactive sessions, it combines video teaching, group discussion, personal reflection and daily readings. It’s ideal for one-to-ones, small study groups or larger gatherings. The course can be run online or face to face and you can choose to buy the films as a DVD, digital download or via our new streaming platform.

Reviews
We followed several groups as they progressed through the eight week course. Here’s what they had to say.
Beth Dent – The Stowe Church, Swindon
Beth is very comfortable reading some books of the Bible but wanted the confidence to challenge herself a bit more. The course has helped her to understand the bigger picture and the relevance of the Bible.
Simon Ronald – Romford Baptist Church
Before the course, Simon struggled to read the Bible – from finding the time to understanding the ‘black holes’ of the Old Testament. After just eight weeks he found a new ‘respect’ for the Bible.
