Throughout the course, there will be supplemental videos covering various aspects of our studies. These videos contain teachings from some of the world’s leading Biblical scholars, most of whom still teach in universities around the world, that have written extensively in books and commentaries. These videos are included for your learning but also so you can begin to build a repertoire of names of authors and theologians that you should be familiar with as you continue your study of the Bible beyond BTCSM.
