Free online courseIntroduction to Biblical Theology

Course Description

Learn to read the Bible as a unified narrative rather than a collection of isolated passages. This free online course in biblical theology helps you trace the storyline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, noticing how key promises, themes, and patterns develop across the covenants and find their fulfillment in the New Testament. Instead of jumping straight to abstract doctrines, you will practice following the Bible’s own unfolding plot, so your interpretation becomes more coherent, contextual, and Christ-centered.

Through a guided journey across the Old Testament, you will engage the Bible’s major movements: creation and fall, the promise of a coming offspring, God’s covenant commitments, the purpose of holiness and atonement, the significance of land and kingship, and the hope that grows through Israel’s writings and prophets. You will see why wisdom, worship, and exile matter for the big picture, and how prophetic expectation shapes the longing for restoration, a new covenant, and a faithful kingdom that cannot fail.

The course then moves into the New Testament to show how the Gospels and the early church present Jesus as the center of the biblical storyline. You will consider how major themes are recast in light of his life, death, resurrection, and reign, including the idea of a new exodus, the meaning of discipleship, and the way the kingdom of God is both already present and not yet fully realized. By connecting the letters and Revelation to earlier Scripture, you will gain a clearer grasp of how the final hope of renewal and victory completes the story the Bible has been telling all along.

With short exercises along the way, you can check comprehension and sharpen your ability to summarize a passage within its larger context. Whether you are studying for personal growth, leading a group, or building a solid foundation for further theological learning, you will finish with a stronger ability to follow themes across the canon, interpret responsibly, and explain the Bible’s message with clarity.
