If you began today, you could spend a lifetime looking for and discovering all of the treasures of the Bible. In Bible Study Basics you will need to become childlike, yet scientific at the same time, as you ask these questions: Who is the author? To whom is he writing? Why? When? Where? How? Wherefore? In asking these questions you will learn how to discover the growing, living, life-changing ideas that God has for you. Begin today.

I'm planning to use the Basic Courses' content and materials to teach basics to young couples. They seem to fit my needs. As a sideline, I have one complaint and suggestion. The complaint is that the graphics in the margins are faint and some lettering, especially in withing the graphics themselves, are difficult or impossible to read. The suggestion is, the graphic material could be very valuable if they were accessible as PowerPoint presentations to help those who want to use them in training in churches and on the mission field.

Informative and interesting

This course was very helpful. The content was faithful to the course promise and clearly articulated. The lectures were appropriate in length, taking into consideration attention spans via the electronic platform, and contained the requisite information for the later application demands. I would suggest an option of viewing the correct answers for questions missed in the quizzes. Additionally, the discussion forum had responses to questions that were not aligned with the questions posed for the course I was taking. You could also consider providing prompts to support reviewing aligned course content within the lesson for questions missed, in lieu or in addition to providing the correct answers. This reduced the opportunity for me to engage the thinking of peers in this platform, which can be an enriching experience.

Even though I have read the Bible through several times, this course has helped me begin to learn more in depth on how to actually "study" instead of just "read".
