Learn the Bible in 24 Hours is presented by Dr. Chuck Missler of Koinonia House. The series consists of 24 one-hour videos. This would make an excellent semester series for a middle – high schooler. I have read the book and it’s worth reading… but these videos will give you an audio/visual review of the entire Bible and its design. I recommend it!
Hour 1 – Introduction
Hour 2 – Creation And The Fall Of Man
Hour 3 – The Pre-Historical Period
Hour 4 – The Patriarchs
Hour 5 – The Birth Of The Nation
Hour 6 – In The Land
Hour 7 – The Monarchy
Hour 8 – The Poetical Books
Hour 9 – The Book Of Daniel
Hour 10 – Post-Exile History
Hour 11 – The Major Prophets
Hour 12 – The Minor Prophets
Hour 13 – How Sure Can We Be
Hour 14 – The New Testament
Hour 15 – The Gospels
Hour 16 – The Last Week
Hour 17 – The Book Of Acts
Hour 18 – Romans
Hour 19 – The Church Epistles
Hour 20 – The Hebrew Christian Epistles
Hour 21 – Eschatologicial Summary
Hour 22 – Revelation 1-3
Hour 23 – Revelation 4-22
Hour 24 – Conclusion
If you were using this for your middle/high schooler, you could add in some living books, the Bible readings and you would have a full course for an entire semester!
If you added English lessons (copywork, dictation, grammar, etc) as well as historical fiction you could use this as a full year course.
Fantastic free resource! Do consider adding this to your family bible study.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this resource.
I’m writing this as I watch the first video, and he keeps talking about extraterestrials, being outside space time, and most concerning that we are a digital world within another dimention, talking about 10 dimentions and stuff…
I’m going to try keep watching, I know enough to weave through that, but for anyone giving this to a new christian, the first 10 minutes alone of the introduction video is quite confusing! I can’t tell whether he is using them as metaphores, God is outside of our world therefor extra terrestrial, and the idea that heaven, not being on earth, is some other dimension. But for a new christian, with traditional understandings of those worlds, it sounds like he’s basically saying the matrix is real!
Chuck Missler may not be everyone’s ‘cup of tea’. Like anyone, he comes out with things that I don’t agree with 100% however he offers excellent historical and cultural insight into biblical passages. He is one of a few scholars/theologins that I read and/or listen to.
He has a dry sense of humour and he is an excellent story teller, he has a pretty good grasp of language and he uses this to excite the reader; to draw them in and get them wanting to know more.
I think one needs to listen to the first 5 hours of teaching, at least, in order to see what picture he is painting in the introduction. His terminology is deliberate.
He expands upon history and culture- helping us to read the Old Testament like those for whom it was orignally written – the Jews. And let’s face it- the Jews used some pretty amazing language. Reading the Bible can be very puzzling- much like you found in the intro. But don’t stop there… dig in!
