About this course

7 studies · 26 short videos · about an hour per study · free, with a certificate

Based on the workbook Finding Out About Christ by Pastors Peter Andrews, Edward Challen, John Graham, Christopher Hand and Richard Mayhew (© 1999, 2000). Adapted for online study by BibleHelp.net.

The video narration uses a computer-generated voice.

Scripture quotations are from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which is in the public domain. They keep its American spelling. Like many English Bibles, it often says ‘man’, ‘he’ or ‘brothers’ where it means people in general, men and women alike.
