The Bible is the most published book in human history, a foundational document of western civilization, and the basis of Christianity, but it remains widely under-read and misunderstood. This one-day workshop is a brilliant way to understand how the whole Bible fits together as one coherent story. Developed at St. John's Richmond beginning in 2009, the BIAD Seminar has travelled to over 40 churches. Come to our next Bible-in-a-day workshop.

See the BIAD Website for more information.

 

 
 

What is Bible-in-a-day?

Bible-in-a-day is a live seminar with one or two presenters. It can be tailored for participants aged youth to adult, and for ESL learners. Each person receives a well-designed workbook with ample room to take notes.

Content

Bible-in-a-day is a concise way of exploring the Bible. Throughout the seminar, we look at the key people, events, dialogue and narrative that communicate God’s grand plan and purpose to people in every age. The sections include:

  • what is the Bible
  • how the Bible came to be
  • how to read the Bible
  • the Bible’s major themes

Bible-in-a-day is configurable for retreats, or a 5 to 10 week course meeting one evening a week.
