The Bible In A Year - Study Challenge
|
The Bible in a Year Challenge: A Virtual Academic Study
START DATE: 5 January 2015
YOUR GUIDE: Sandie Gravett -- Professor of Religious Studies
at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina.
THE GOAL: Read the Complete Bible in One Year (Monday-
Saturday schedule) AND get some insight on
academic study of the text. The passages each day will be manageable (3 to 4 chapters); every day includes both the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.
HOW IT WORKS: A message will go out EVERY day on
THREE social media outlets (see below). On the blog (and it will be linked to Facebook and Twitter), Sandie will write from an academic perspective about the passage or the Bible in general (including its history, reception, key ideas, contemporary applications, etc.). She will link you to videos and other support resources. The result? A short course in academic biblical studies every day you want to check in and see what is happening. Discussion (in all media) is encouraged!
THE SOCIAL MEDIA SITES: Choose the option that works for
you.
