Social:Bible correspondence course
Bible correspondence courses are lessons on the Bible which are sent to students through mailing systems such as mail and email by church-related organizations.[1][2] These lessons usually teach through the Bible (particularly the New Testament) and through core doctrines of the Church using reading plans and study guides.[3][4]
Programs
Lessons can be brief surveys of the Bible or an in-depth historical study of the Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek.[5] Some denominations that have been proponents of the programs include Baptist, Lutheran, Orthodox, Catholic, and Non-denominational.[6]
Lessons can vary in form of Bible translation ranging from the King James Version and New King James to the New American Standard Bible and New International Version.[7] When a student completes a study guide, the correspondence course provider corrects the study guide and sends the next lesson. These lessons are unaccredited and provided for free or for a low fee. This makes the courses available to low income students and inmates.[8] These lessons also come in multiple languages such as Spanish, Tagalog, and Portuguese.[9][10][11] After completing the course, the student is formally awarded a Certificate of Completion which commonly comes with special privileges within the organization.[10]
