CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLICAL CORE COURSE (CBCC)

Why Chronological Biblical Core Course?

Chronological Biblical Core Course (BCC) is a three-month school where you read the entire Bible and develop valuable skills for in-depth study and effective teaching. The purpose of this course is to strengthen your relationship with God by learning how to rightly handle God’s written revelation, the Bible. With the help of a variety of Bible teachers along with extensive personal study, you will build a solid foundation in Biblical understanding and study skills that will serve a lifetime of spiritual growth and Christian witness to the world.

There are two ways to understand the Bible.

The first is to read the Old Testament through the light of Jesus Christ, starting with the New Testament. The advantage is that we can understand the heart of God in the Old Testament in the light of the gospel of God revealed through Jesus Christ.

The second is to read the New Testament as the climax of history, starting with the Old Testament. There is great value for Christians to understand the big picture of the Bible as the story of God’s restoration of creation, fulfilled in Jesus Christ and expanded through the church.

CBCC explores the second way

To trace God’s meta-narrative of restoration starting from the Old Testament, bringing in the conviction that Jesus Christ is the climax of human history to proclaim the church’s mission.
