- “I really loved the clarifications of the Hebrew and the meanings and intentions behind the writings. Our translations often seem to miss something. Without knowing Hebrew and Greek, it is a hard task to truly appreciate the depths and underlying meanings of the Holy Scriptures.”Kevin F.Completed Adam to Noah
- “I love how we also get instant access to the teachers’ notes. And the quizzes and reflection questions really consolidate my learning, helping me to remember the important points!”Tina M.Completed Adam to Noah
- “This class really helped assist in understanding, recognizing, and developing essential techniques to perceive the Bible in the way it was meant to be read.”Trae’Vious C.Completed Adam to Noah
- “Because of the slower pace, the study could go deeper, which I enjoyed. I also like how the materials showed up on the screen along with the video; it made it feel interactive and present even though I wasn’t physically there for the class.”Yuki S.Completed Heaven and Earth
- “I've long loved getting housework done while listening to the podcast, but I haven't had the ability to sit in front of a computer long enough to do a class—until a newborn and the ability to do classes on a phone happened! The classes have been the perfect thing to fill my brain with in the long nights of feeding a baby. My faith and intellect have been challenged in the best ways, and I'm long going to be chewing on all I'm learning.”Kerstin G.Completed Noah to Abraham
- “I thoroughly enjoy your style of teaching. I also love that there are people from different cultures/languages participating in the class. This made it a much richer experience for me.”Julie B.Completed Ephesians
- “Listening in to the discourse is enlightening and helps bring it to life. Benefitting from the knowledge of Bible scholars is a real privilege.”Peter S.Completed Ephesians
- “I love how these classes uncover the relevance of the Bible to modern life.”Michael E.Completed Jonah

FAQs
We are working toward having a large library of classes available for Classroom students. Currently, we aim to add three to four new classes to our library each year.
Classroom is designed as an accessible experience for people with varying levels of biblical knowledge. Whether you're starting to explore the Bible or are a lifelong student of Scripture, Classroom will take your Bible study to the next level.
If you're new to studying Scripture, we recommend starting with the Introduction to the Hebrew Bible class. This class offers a foundation for understanding the Old Testament and introduces some of the study skills we use throughout all of our classes.
If you're diving into biblical study for the first time, it may be helpful to familiarize yourself with a few basics before joining Classroom.
Check out the How to Read the Bible video series to learn more about the literary genres in the Bible. The Paradigm article series or the Paradigm podcast series will also give you helpful tools in your journey of learning to read the Bible well.
Most classes are a 12-15 hour total commitment, and individual sessions within a class are typically 20-30 minutes long. Each class is self-guided, so there are no deadlines or set completion dates.
We recommend starting with Introduction to the Hebrew Bible. It lays a foundation for understanding the Old Testament and introduces some basic study skills we'll use throughout all of our classes.
After you've completed the Introduction to the Hebrew Bible class, check out Heaven and Earth to continue through the Genesis scroll, or skip ahead to something different with classes like Jonah or Ephesians.
We also recommend checking out The Art of Biblical Words to develop skills for discovering the original meaning and context for Hebrew and Greek words, as well as an introduction to the best tools for self-study.
These classes are designed to help you dig deeper into Scripture with the guidance of our team of biblical scholars.
Although we're exploring more options to celebrate the work of those who complete a class, these courses are not designed to satisfy the academic requirements needed for accreditation in college, graduate, or seminary programs.
However, anyone who completes a class will receive a digital achievement certificate.
Yes! You can now access the latest Classroom design and features on the device of your choice: mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. All of your future session progress, notes, reflections, and quizzes will be saved to your account and accessible across all platforms. If you had previous progress or notes on Classroom, your data has been automatically synced.
Videos, slides, and personal notes are not currently available for offline use. However, we are planning to add download functionality at a later point.
Students for all scheduled filmings have been selected. But you can stay in the loop on any future in-person student opportunities by keeping an eye out for announcements on our social platforms and podcast.
