School of Biblical Studies (SBS)
The SBS is a nine-month course in which the participant studies all 66 books of the Bible, the Word of God. You learn to study the Scriptures, using the inductive approach, in which you observe what the text says and then let it shape your beliefs as opposed to the deductive method, where one approaches the Bible with a preconceived idea and searches the scripture for support. The SBS will equip individuals to rightly handle the Word of truth. Giving them the ability to better observe and see what the Word has to say, learning to interpret what was originally meant by the Word, and how then it can be applied properly in whatever situation or ministry one finds themselves in.
Vision
Curriculum
There are three core values we want to see instilled in our participants by the end of the nine-month course:
Grounded in Truth: We believe in equipping believers with the foundational truth of God’s Word. Every participant will inductively study through the entire Bible, reading each book five times through during the 9-month course. We believe the Bible can lay a strong foundation for life and each participant must be grounded in its truth.
Growing in Relationship: We believe that part of being grounded in God’s truth means that our participants find a deepening relationship, not only with God, but also with fellow participants. A true understanding of God’s Word leads to a growing relationship with God and with others.
Giving Out As We Receive: We are privileged to study the Bible in an unreached nation; Taiwan, as a whole, is approximately 3% Christian. Consequently, our third goal in SBS is focused around evangelism.
We don’t want to just study Bible – we want to tell others about the truth of Jesus
The SBS is offered in a series of three-month phases:
- Interpreting the Scriptures I: This phase is the introduction to the SBS, covering most of the New Testament books.
- Interpreting the Scriptures II: This includes completing the inductive study of the New Testament, as well as, studying from Genesis through I Kings of the Old Testament.
- Interpreting the Scriptures III: This session focuses on the inductive study of II Kings through Malachi completing your study of the Bible.
