Workshop Series Features

How it works and the benefits you will find.

  • How it Works

    This series provides a practical introduction to to the Bible. As a non-credit course, there are no tests or grades, just a course project and some readings. Each session includes pre-recorded videos providing a wealth of insight, as well as additional content and links.

  • What's Included

    Biblical literacy is a critical part of lifelong faith formation, so we designed this course to introduce you to the Bible, its origins, its basic structure and message, and how you might use it to better inform your faith. As we study the scriptures together over the six weeks of the course, we will also engage you in a personalized Bible study project that we hope will deepen your relationship with the scriptures and perhaps teach you something about yourself.

  • Experienced Leader

    A lifelong student of the scriptures, Dr. Dalen Jackson is adept at helping learners deepen their understanding of the Bible as well as their skill as an interpreter of texts. See his full bio below.
