Biblical Overview/Lesson Template

Here you can place an optional introduction.

Pre-Lesson Activity

• Here you can record several pre-lesson activities for the student to engage in before continuing.
• A typical pre-lesson activity might include reading a wikipedia entry on a certain theological position, or more commonly, reading beforehand the passages of scripture that pertain to the lesson.
• If an activity involves reading scripture, place a link to BibleGateway.com's New King James translation of the passage. To obtain the link, go to BibleGateway.com and search for the passage. Then use the URL from your browser's address bar as the link URL.

Example:

• Browse Wikipedia for various views of the authorship of Genesis. You might try searching for "Genesis", or "Pentateuch", and see where that takes you.
• Read Genesis 1:1 - 2:4
  • Take note of any structure or methodology apparent in the order that God created the universe.

Lesson

Here you can place an optional introduction to or synopsis of the lesson to come.

(scripture reference) :: (section title)

The above section title represents the general form of a lesson subsection. First the scripture reference is placed, followed by a double-colon, and terminated with the section's title. (see below for an example)

(section title)

At times a scripture reference may not be applicable, such as in a book overview, or in the topical studies. If that is the case, simply providing the section title is adequate. (see below for an example)

Study Questions

1. In this section, you can ask a few study questions.
2. Usually, one per section of the lesson is sufficient.
3. Make sure to ask open-ended questions, instead of close-ended questions with simple yes/no/one word answers.
4. Example: Why is the authorship of Genesis important to our understanding of the book? why is it important to the understanding of the Bible?
