Introduction To The Bible – HTH Online Bible Study

Never Read the Bible? This Is Where to Begin.

The Introduction to the Bible is an eight-lesson course written for anyone who has ever wanted to understand the Bible but didn’t know where to start. It’s plain, honest, and completely free — covering everything from how the Bible is organized to some of the deepest questions it answers about forgiveness, salvation, and what comes next.

Eight Lessons. Plain Language. Real Answers.

A lot of people own a Bible. Far fewer feel like they actually understand it — where it came from, how it fits together, or what it’s really saying.

This course changes that. Each lesson focuses on one topic, written clearly and without assuming you already know anything. You’ll learn how the Bible is organized, how to read it well, and what it teaches about the questions most people carry quietly for years — things like forgiveness, salvation, and what the Bible says about eternity.

By the end, the Bible won’t feel like a closed book anymore.

Eight Lessons Worth Taking

Here’s what’s waiting for you inside the course:

Lesson 1 — Introduction to the Bible

Get your bearings. Learn what the Bible is, where it came from, how it’s organized, and why so many people across so many centuries have found it worth reading carefully.

Lesson 2 — How to Read the Bible

Most people who say they can’t understand the Bible have simply never had a clear path through it. This lesson gives you practical, straightforward guidance for reading scripture with confidence.

Lesson 3 — The Gospel

What is the gospel — and why does it matter? This lesson explains the core message of the New Testament in clear, accessible terms that anyone can follow.

Lesson 4 — Covenants

he Bible is built around agreements between God and people. Understanding the difference between the Old and New Testaments is one of the most important keys to understanding the Bible as a whole — and this lesson makes it clear.

Lesson 5 — Forgiveness

One of the most universal human longings is also one of the Bible’s central themes. This lesson explores what forgiveness really means, why God offers it, and what it looks like to actually receive it.

Lesson 6 — Salvation

What does the Bible actually teach about being saved? This lesson walks through the New Testament’s answer — carefully, plainly, and without pressure — so you can see it for yourself.

Lesson 7 — Heaven, Part 1

What does the Bible say about eternity? This lesson begins exploring what scripture teaches about life after death — and the steps the Bible describes as the path toward it.

Lesson 8 — Heaven, Part 2

The series closes where the Bible’s story ultimately leads — with one of its most hopeful and important themes, explored fully and with care.
