Course Design:
This course is designed to help those who take it learn as much as they would like to learn of basic Baptist Doctrine. There will be four parts of this course for each lesson. No one is required to complete all four parts in order to be included. Students are welcomed to take as much of the material as they would like. Following is a list of the four parts of each lesson and an explanation of each.

Four Parts of Each Lesson
1) Audio file of lecture
2) Book available for more study
3) Questions to help review lesson and assist in understanding
4) Written assignments for more in-depth learning

1) Audio file of lecture
Everyone is welcome to simply listen to the audio files of the lecture. Hopefully, the lectures will prove to be enriching to all who take time to listen to them. Nothing additional is required. (A link to the audio file can be found at the bottom of the lesson.)

2) Book available for more study
Anyone who is interested could also purchase the book which will be used as a guideline for the study. There will be more material contained in the book than will be shared during the lecture. Any who would like to consider more details related to the topic of the lesson is encouraged to purchase the book. Details will be provided at the bottom of this page for the book and where it might be purchased.

3) Questions to help review lesson and assist in understanding
There are a number of questions for each lesson. The vast majority of these are already in the book. The purpose of the questions is to help students review what they have learned. Students will be allowed to either grade their own work or share it back. If shared, it will be reviewed for accuracy and returned with comments.

4) Written assignments for more in-depth learning
Additional written assignments will be available for each lesson for any who would like to take part in them. These written assignments will be in the form of either chapter summaries or an agreed upon topic. There will be times when some topic will come to the student’s attention as the lesson unfolds. If a desire for more depth of learning for that topic surfaces, this would be a great time to take part in a
written assignment. Written assignments will only be made available when requested. If completed, these assignments will be reviewed and returned with comments. 

Book to be used as a guide
Of course, the main book to be used in this study will be the Bible. It and only it is the sole rule of faith and practice. Any material which fails to meet the teaching of the Bible is unreliable. This said, the course will follow a book to be used as a simple guide. There will be times when parts of the book may be skipped or identified as faulty. This is to be expected when any book is used during this sort of a study. During a study, criticism of the text is inline. Nothing but the Bible is worth taking “as it is written”. If any would like to purchase the book, here are the details of where it might be purchased. Baptist Doctrine by E.C. Gillentine. Available at: Bogard Bookstore (www.bogardstore.org) for $3.00
