Introduction to Biblical Theology

Dr. Thomas Schreiner of The Master's Seminary traces the storyline of the whole Bible.

About This Course

This course follows the Bible's own story from the garden to the new creation. Its central theme is the kingdom of God: God's rule over God's people through God's covenants.

Each lecture below is a full seminary class session, and each has its own page with the video, a study sheet that walks the lecture section by section, links to every Scripture passage discussed, key terms, a comprehension check, discussion questions, and a printable PDF.

Lectures by Dr. Thomas Schreiner, embedded from The Master's Seminary's public channel.

Optional textbook: The King in His Beauty by Thomas Schreiner, the book behind this course.

Enrollment is free and optional, and takes a minute: let the church know you are studying.
