Our Mission
The mission of the Yale Bible Study is to engage clergy and lay audiences in small group Bible study by providing studies of biblical books, deepened by insights from Yale Divinity School professors. These materials form an accessible, free, and deeply thoughtful and informed group Bible study program.
Bible Courses
All course materials available freely without registration.
Sign up for additional tools and discussion.
Old Testament
The first part of the Christian biblical canon, the Old Testament, is based primarily on the twenty-four books of the Hebrew Bible (or Tanakh), a collection of ancient religious Hebrew writings by the Israelites believed by most Christians and religious Jews to be the sacred Word of God.
New Testament
The New Testament is the second part of the Christian biblical canon, and focuses on the teachings of Jesus and events in first-century Christianity. Christians regard both the Old and New Testaments together as sacred scripture.
Themed Study
Rather than focusing on a particular book of the Bible, our Themed Studies cover a variety of topics like, how to read the Bible, the history of the Bible, in-depth studies of some of the notable women of the Bible, or seasonal studies.
