Gospel of John 1-1 Bible Study

Written by Jesus' most beloved disciple, the Gospel of John as found in the Bible offers unique insight into the life and ministry of the most central figure in human history:  his miracles, his claims, the events that led to his crucifixion, and perhaps most compellingly his encounters with the individual persons whose lives and stories were touched and transformed.  This course explores the stories and teachings of Jesus Christ, and considers their lessons, truths, and applications.

Course 101

Have you ever wondered about the meaning of life? Or what true love is? Are you curious to know more about Jesus and why he is considered the most influential person ever? Or perhaps you've been attending church all your life, but are still left unsure of your faith or how to articulate it. Course 101 is written for anyone seeking the truth, and it includes excerpts and articles from well-known scholars and authors while also providing an intellectual basis for Christianity. We guarantee that you will discover much food for thought within the profound writings and concepts presented in this course.

Course 101 is an 8-week course developed and offered by Asian Baptist Student Koinonia. It lays an intellectual basis for answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the Christian faith and addresses misconceptions about God, Jesus, and the Bible. With the college skeptic and thinker in mind, Course 101 is presented in conjunction with a course reader which includes excerpts from noted scholars and thinkers.  For any person interested in life, truth, God, or the person of Jesus Christ, Course 101 surveys the most influential faith and ideology in history.
