Bibliology teaches us that the Bible is inspired, meaning it is "breathed out" by God. A proper Bibliology holds to the inerrancy of Scripture—that the Bible does not contain any errors, contradictions, or discrepancies. A solid Bibliology helps us to understand how God used the personalities and styles of the human authors of Scripture and still produced His Word and exactly what He wanted to be said. Bibliology enables us to know why other books were excluded from the Bible. For the Christian, the Bible is life itself. Its pages are filled with the very Spirit of God, revealing His heart and mind to us. What a wonderful and gracious God we have! He could have left us to struggle through life with no help at all, but He gave His Word to guide us, truly a “lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).

A key Scripture on Bibliology is 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

The Study of How We Got Our Bible

Bibliology

This is a 10-lesson course on the study of the Bible itself, the Word of God. The Bible is the inspired Word of God, our primary source of knowledge about God, Jesus Christ, salvation, and eternity. Without a proper view of the Bible, how it came into existence and what it says to us today, our views become clouded and distorted. Registered students must view all videos on this teaching and take a Final Exam in order to receive transcript credit. This course is valued at one (1) transcript credit for registered/paid students.

It is recommended, but it is not required, that you download and print the Study Guide (22 pages) to fill in blanks as you view the course videos.
