Lectures

From world leaders to household customs, these special lectures will help you learn more about the history, culture, and world of the Bible. They are supplemental to the book studies, but a good way to dig deeper and keep learning.

History

From the Old Testament to the New, learn how the leaders of empires shaped the Biblical story from the conquest of Alexander the Great through the New Testament Herodian dynasty.

Culture

Who were the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essense?
First-century Judaism was a complex landscape of diverse religious, political, and geographical groups each with their own unique interactions with Jesus and his followers.

Culture

Women in the New Testament Church
Early church restrictions on women’s ministry were context-specific to issues like disorder and false teaching, not universal bans, and the Bible generally supports men and women’s mutual cooperation in ministry.

History

The Rise of the Roman Empire and the New Testament
Follow the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire, tracing key figures and historical events and their direct connections and parallels with the biblical story.
