This free online course helps you build a solid, thoughtful foundation for reading the Bible with clarity and confidence. Instead of treating Christian beliefs as isolated ideas, you will learn how the major themes of Scripture fit together and how historic Christian teaching has summarized those truths for everyday discipleship. Whether you are returning to the basics or looking for a more structured approach to faith, this study is designed to make theology feel both approachable and meaningful.
You will spend focused time with the Apostles’ Creed, using its articles of faith as a guide for understanding core Christian convictions about God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the church, and salvation. This is not about memorizing lines for their own sake; it is about seeing what Christians have confessed for centuries and how those affirmations connect to Scripture, worship, and hope. The course also invites you to reflect on questions that test comprehension and encourage you to articulate what you believe with precision.
From there, the lessons move into building your theology: what theology is, why it matters, and how responsible Christian thinking depends on God’s revelation. You will explore how authority functions in theology and why Scripture holds a central place, especially in traditions that emphasize its sufficiency and trustworthiness. Along the way, you will gain tools for avoiding confusion, learning to distinguish personal opinion from doctrine grounded in the biblical text.
A key emphasis is systematic theology: learning to organize biblical teaching so that it remains faithful to the whole counsel of God. You will be introduced to the value of technical terms, the role of clear propositions, and the purpose of doctrines for guarding orthodoxy and strengthening the church’s witness. The course then broadens your biblical framework through themes of kingdom and covenant, helping you understand why the Old Testament matters and how God’s unfolding reign shapes the New Testament age. Finally, you will engage the Gospels as ancient biography, with attention to how they present the life of Jesus and the early Christian understanding of their authorship.
By the end, you should feel better equipped to read Scripture with greater coherence, explain key doctrines without jargon, and participate more confidently in study groups, church conversations, or personal devotion. It is an accessible course for anyone who wants a deeper, more organized grasp of Christian belief and the story the Bible tells.
