Three Week Bible Crash Course

Starting Monday, January 4, I'm teaching a crash course survey of the whole Bible with Houghton College. Certainly, a person could take it for college credit, but it can also be audited for not too much. It's the kind of thing a small group or Sunday School class or could do together (possibly as one audit taken together). Here is the link to sign up, and the name of the course is BIBL 101 Biblical Literature.

The format is 1) two short videos to watch each day and 2) a live debrief session at 4pm ET each weekday. The live session is recorded for those who can't come at that time.
