Theology students learn everything except the Bible. They learn historical theology and church history, systematics and dogmatics; they master the linguistic and interpretive tools to study the Bible for themselves. Actual study of the Bible is often minimal.
Theopolis Bible courses focus on the Scriptures themselves. Under the guidance of experienced teachers, students learn the contents and patterns of Scripture, learn to be delighted by its beauties and to plunge into its depths.
During the 2015-2016 academic year, Theopolis will offer a series of four five-week Bible survey courses covering the Old Testament and the Gospels.
Four courses will be offered:
Trinity Term (August/September): James Jordan on Exodus through Joshua.
Advent Term (October/November): James Jordan and Peter Leithart on the Historical Books.
Epiphany Term (January/February 2016): James Jordan and Peters Leithart on the Prophetic Books.
Easter Term (April 2016): Pastor Rich Lusk and Peter Leithart on the Gospels.

Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
