Project: Biblion Course Development

Many Christians love the Bible and endeavor to order their lives by its teaching, but very few know how the text of the New Testament has been faithfully preserved through the centuries. Consequently, they and their children remain susceptible to the false claims of radical skeptics and aggressive atheists, whose most recent efforts have targeted unsuspecting Christians for fleecing.

These scholars with a is making hundreds of thousands of dollars by aggressively marketing his “Biblical Studies Academy” as a benign Bible teaching institute for non-scholars, yet it is established and run by one of the most hostile atheists alive today. To answer this threat, CSNTM has produced the first two courses for the “Biblion Lecture Series”:

Text to Translation: the Story of the New Testament
The Canon of the New Testament

Over the next 2 years, CSNTM proposes to develop new courses for the Biblion Lecture Series to better equip non-scholars with knowledge of the New Testament, to build confidence in the reliability of the New Testament, and to inoculate non-scholars against the false claims of radical skeptics. 

To develop the course content, CSNTM will recruit qualified New Testament scholars with experience teaching college-level Christian content to people outside of academic settings. The content will include multimedia content—short videos, info-graphics, etc. —to enhance the educational value of the curricula. As each course is completed, they will be presented to test audiences and refined before publication. The development time for each course requires approximately 6 to 9 months, including test presentations. 

Objective One

Develop at least 3 new courses for the Biblion Lecture Series that equips non-scholars with knowledge of the New Testament text, its origin, contents, preservation, and history. 

Objective Two

Publish the audio-visual presentation files and leaders’ guides for all 5 courses for use by other presenters.
