    — John, United States (US)

    — Esosa, United States (US)
  • Because of the pathways that these courses of biblical studies of the Bible has taken me on, it has allowed me to develop a love for the Scriptures within this pathway. I was questioning God in terms of which way He wanted me to go in terms of biblical studies of the Bible, doctrine, history and so forth. This pathway has and is allowing my answer to come. It is not easy by any means; however, it is taking on a trajectory that will lead to other insightful, meaningful, productive and prosperous avenues that I have only yet to continue towards venturing and remaining within. I thank you kindly for a platform that supports that.

  • Great course

    — Gerald, United States (US)
  • This is a concise and good introduction to the first three books of the Old Testament. Though succinct, it is in no way shallow. The major contents, and especially the themes or purpose, have been clearly explained. The extra readings on Ray Stedman's "Adventuring through the Bible" are equally good. I like especially the outlines there that help me to remember what each book is about. Definitely to be recommended.

  • Simple but enlightening.

The part where we have to write our answers to the questions really challenged me to think about what I had read and learned and put my thoughts into words concerning it. I will remember specific things I learned, that I had read in scriptures before... but now has a better meaning and elements of it that will stick with me forever from the quizzes. Thank you so much, and I look forward to participating in your other courses. God Bless.
