Bible Studies School Program (BSP)

The School of Biblical Studies is a full-time program, which means that students live, work, and study at our campus in Pichilemu, Chile. Classes are held approximately three mornings a week (there will be more at the start of the school and during seminars). A large part of the school consists of personal study. We value a “balanced” Christian lifestyle, and therefore, in addition to their studies, each student will participate in daily life, including times of intercession, worship, meals, outings, celebrations, two hours of practical work per day, etc.

The EEB consists of three trimesters. It is possible to take only the first trimester or the first two trimesters, but only in consecutive order (if this is the case, it must be announced in advance).

The content for each quarter is as follows:

  • The first quarter of the EEB begins with an introduction to the inductive Bible study method in the form of a three-week intensive seminar. During the remainder of the first quarter, we study most of the books of the New Testament.

  • In the second quarter, we studied the rest of the New Testament and then began the Old Testament, starting with Genesis and continuing through Samuel.

  • The third quarter covers the remaining books of the Old Testament, and we conclude with a Gospel.

The school's curriculum is not organized by themes or topics, but rather involves a book-by-book study of the entire Bible.

The EEB's approach differs from that of other Bible schools:

  • Study the Bible for yourself. The course content consists not of lectures on the Bible, but of the Bible itself. Students are not merely learning what others say about the Bible, but primarily what the Bible itself says.

  • Study the Bible on your own. The emphasis is on self-study. Students will not only listen to others but will also discover for themselves what the Bible says.

  • Study the entire Bible on your own. Perhaps the most unusual aspect of the EEB is that the entire nine-month program consists “simply” of studying the entire Bible, book by book, on your own.

The inductive study method

The EEB is based on the inductive study method. This means that we seek to listen to the Scriptures; the inductive method aims to let the Bible speak for itself, based on a careful examination of the text. To do this, we do not begin by studying individual verses or paragraphs, but rather we first try to grasp the context of the entire book. The three steps we will consistently apply are:

  • Note: What does the text say?

  • Interpretation: What did the text mean to its original readers?

  • Application: What does this text mean for me/us today?
