Room 201 -
Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m.
The Bethel Bible Series is a comprehensive, 40-lesson overview of the entire Bible designed to help students understand how the Old and New Testaments connect as one unified story. For over 60 years, it has used a unique visual method featuring custom symbolic pictures to help participants retain key biblical concepts.
The study is divided into two major halves, spanning two years of disciplined, college-level study:
-
Old Testament (20 lessons) - Focuses on God's plan as it is carried out through Israel's history and the cultural and historical impacts on biblical events.
-
New Testament (20 lessons) - Examines the fulfillment of God's plan through Jesus Christ, connecting theological themes like Grace, Covenant, and Forgiveness.
-
Visual Learning Tools - A hallmark of the series is the use of symbolic pictures which illustrate complex concepts, such as the downfall of kingdoms or the role of prophets, to aid memory and understanding.
-
Format - Typically delivered in a lecture-based classroom environment, often including weekly homework reading and question-based reflections.
