How to Use This Study

The Is Genesis History? Bible Study includes six lessons that can be used for group or personal study. Each lesson contains five parts: Setup, Video, Discussion, Differing Views, and Personal Study.

This study has been designed to “telescope” in length. If you want to teach it in a shorter timeframe, limit the number of questions asked. If you want to make it a longer session or even two sessions per lesson, you can ask more questions or go deeper into Differing Views.

Each lesson includes:

1. Setup — Ask a few questions to set up the current lesson.
2. Video — Watch the video clip that goes with the Lesson, then ask questions to discuss it. These are video clips of material not included in the feature film. Video clips are between 7 and 11 minutes in length.
3. Discussion — The teacher explains the background of the particular doctrine being discussed. A teacher may either review the material and teach it in his own words, or he may read the overview word-for-word. The class will then answer questions about three doctrinal statements supported by a passage of scripture. Answers are included in this book, so if you are teaching it to a class, students can keep their books closed for this section.
4. Differing Views — Discuss different views on these topics. We recognize there are a diversity of views on Genesis, so we try to explore some of the more important questions and topics.
5. Personal Study — Read through three passages of scripture and answer questions related to the doctrines discussed that week. This can be done at home by individuals or families.
