Bible as Second Language

This online class is designed to provide a valuable overview of the entire Bible for those interested in a basic presentation at an entry level to the Scriptures. The video quality may appear a little 'un-polished' at first as it was put together by a non-professional.  But the content is solid and important.  The author and presenter, Rev. Dr. Ron Baesler, is a Lutheran pastor.  He serves as a parish pastor today, having been a missionary and church planter in Brazil for over a decade as well as serving as a seminary professor in Puerto Rico as deployed staff from Luther Seminary.

After registering, you may open these lessons at your convenience or participate in a structured group, working at home and meeting online.  Please contact the church office for registration details and scheduled classes.

Each session is divided up into three segments of about 6-8 minutes each.  Click on each session to begin.

Each session's lecture is available in 'lecture text for reading and printing.'  Click on BSL#
