Study the Bible

Questions this course answers

Not a list of topics. These are the questions the lessons were written to answer, and every one of them is answered from Scripture rather than from opinion.

• Are we alone in the universe, and what does the Bible actually say about it?
• Where did evil come from, and why has God not simply put a stop to it?
• What really happens when a person dies?
• How do you test a message when you cannot verify who sent it?
• Can any prophecy be dated and checked, or only interpreted after the fact?
• Which day is the Sabbath, and how did the day come to be changed?
• What is the mark of the beast, and what is it not?
• Is there any honest hope for a world that looks like this one?

If you have wondered about even one of these, the first lesson is a good place to start. It takes about twenty minutes.

What to expect

• You choose the pace Nothing is scheduled and nothing expires. Take a lesson a day or a lesson a month.
• You know straight away Every question is multiple choice and marked the moment you answer. Get one wrong and you are shown the right answer, and where it came from.
• Nothing to write No essays and no homework. If you read the lesson, you can answer the questions, and it takes a couple of minutes.
• Your details stay yours No selling, no sharing, no passing your name to a local church unless you separately ask for that.
• Nothing is hidden Every lesson title in all five courses is on this page, before you give us anything.
• You can stop One click unsubscribes. One click deletes your account and everything in it.

Every lesson, before you enrol

Most courses like this tell you where you are going one lesson at a time. This one tells you now. Open any part to read its lesson titles. You are choosing the destination, not being taken to it.
