In 12 weeks we will discover the whole Bible together, read through all 66 books chronologically and learn about their historical & cultural context, literary genres and main themes. We will see how the narratives, wisdom literature and prophets in the Old Testament and the Gospels, Epistles and Revelation in the New Testament all connect and form one big picture that shows God’s redemptive story with mankind.
The Bible will come alive for you in an environment that allows you to explore, ask questions, share your thoughts and be challenged to pass on what you have learned. In the context of a cross cultural community that is centered on His presence, we want to engage with scripture in a dynamic way and put into practice what we have studied. You will learn how to lead a dynamic and effective Bible study group, be able to confidently present a Bible overview and be better equipped to explain the word of God to others.
The lectures will be translated into either German or English. Bible reading groups will be in your preferred language, as well as discussion groups and one-on-ones.
No matter what your calling is, a good knowledge of God’s word is an invaluable foundation! Dig deep into the most exciting book on the planet, fall in love with its author and continue the transformation that has started in your DTS in the DBS.
