A Brief Description of Bethel Series

From the first lesson, the Bethel Series begins to acquaint you with the narratives of the Old and New Testaments, and presents the themes  of the Scriptures in the clearest, most systematic manner possible.

Soon you’ll begin to see the interrelationship of themes, events, and concepts within God’s Word and gain a vital new appreciation for how each part of the Scriptures relates to the whole, and vice versa!

That’s easy! Anyone who wants to gain a deeper, more meaningful and life-transforming understanding of God’s Word will benefit from this course, including:

  • Pastors and pastoral staff.
  • Sunday School teachers.
  • Bible study leaders.

  • Understand the radical differences between Hebrew-thought and Western-thought that impact how we view the Bible and its content.
  • See the various parts of Biblical messages in direct relationship to its historical context.
  • Interpret Scriptures in its relationship to the whole of God’s revelation, and not in isolation.

Testimony About The Bethel Series

I recently had the privilege of taking the Bethel Series at MACU. The Bethel Series is a wonderful course for anyone who desires to dig deeper into the Bible. It provides an overview of the Bible and digs deep into some of the areas of the Bible that can be confusing at times. I especially loved the Old Testament study, it clarified many things for me. The lectures done by Dr. Fozard where very informative and easy to follow. The layout of the entire course was conductive to a great learning experience. I would highly recommend the Bethel Series to anyone who is serious about learning more about the Bible in a systematic fashion.
