      HOW TO READ THE BIBLE
      
      The Bible, the Word of God, is a sacred collection of books that were
      divinely written. Reading and understanding the Bible are essential to the
      Christian faith. Many find it challenging to understand this holy Book
      because of the numerous translations—as well as the historical and
      cultural contexts that don’t align with today’s world. This 12-lesson,
      self-guided course, created by esteemed Regent University professors, will
      help you better understand the basics of the Bible. It will also help you
      to interpret, study, and learn from each section and theme.
