Learning English through the Bible

The Bible is arguably the most influential text in all of Western culture. English professors from different universities overwhelmingly agree that “an educated person needs to know about the Bible”. The Bible is the source of inspiration for numerous writers, including Shakespeare. It is also a major source of English idioms. If you “go the extra mile” to help your friend, “eat, drink and be merry” during happy hours, you are quoting from the Bible.

This course is produced by SELBL (www.selbl.org) and will introduce to you ten Biblical texts which have inspired common idioms and expressions in the English language. Each class is interactive and consists of printed handout material and video clips.

If you finish 8 out of 10 classes, you will also be awarded a SELBL certificate. After the course, there will be opportunity to continue studying further biblical and literary topics in a small study group set up at the end.

The course is free.
