Program Overview

A Transformative Way
to Read the Bible
in Conversation with
Its Authors

What We Offer

At the Institute for the Art of Biblical Conversation (IABC), we guide individuals and churches toward a more engaged, thoughtful approach to Bible reading—one that moves beyond passive study into an active conversation with biblical authors through their texts.

WAYS TO GROW WITH US

Choose a Featured Course

We put our best foot forward by featuring 4 of our very best courses (chosen from 700 hours of courses!). Take one of these and also get the other 3, PLUS a whole lot more.

1. Genesis 1-11 is a close look at the Hebrew, Greek, and English texts of that book asking, "What's this book trying o get across?"

2. 101 Days with Jesus looks at 15 stories about Jesus that are mostly found in all four Gospels. The course models how NOT to harmonize them, and instead, HOW TO compare them responsibly and contextually.

3. Romans is 53 hrs of detailed study of Paul's magnum opus. This comes with a week-by-week PROBE study guide and an all new translation from the Greek text.

4. Revelation is front-loaded heavy with historical primary texts setting the stage for Apocalyptic style and interest. Plus an all-new translation in poetic style.
