Bible Survey, A Big Screen Perspective

Note that you have to set up a free account with Biblical Training before you can access Biblical Training’s excellent resources.

Bible Survey is a set of ten 30-minute (or so) videos that summarize the whole Bible with an emphasis on system for studying, managing, and teaching Bible content.

 The videos include:

• An Introductory lecture
• Four lectures about the Old Testament
• One lecture about the writings of the intertestamental period
• Four lectures about the New Testament

The Bible study divides the Old Testament and the New Testament each into three categories, called “boxes”:

1. Foundational books
2. Old Testament=Pentateuch
3. New Testament=Gospels
4. Historical books
5. Old Testament=Joshua through Esther
6. New Testament=Acts
7. Instructional books
8. Old Testament=Poetry and Prophets
9. New Testament=Epistles and Revelation

Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading by Eugene H. Peterson

Eugene Peterson translated The Message, which puts the scriptures in modern language with contemporary metaphors and examples. In Eat This Book he describes ways of Bible reading that transform us into people who more resemble Jesus, including lectio divina.
