In this lesson Pastor Tyler briefly overviews the Old Testament by introducing the 9 "eras" or time periods of the Old Testament period.

The goal of this lesson is to answer the question - "Why is the Bible written?" The answer the Bible gives is that it was written so that we might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing we may have life in His name.

In Lesson #2 Pastor Tyler makes 2 assertions that are very important to understand in order to know how to read the Bible properly. Those 2 assertions are as follows: 1. The Bible is "A" Metanarrative 2. The Bible is "The" Metanarrative

This lesson is the first lesson of the Basic Bible Survey Course. The goals of this lesson will be to give an overview of the course as well as to spend some time discussing the question: What is the Bible?
