Course Reviews
Thank you
It has helped me understand the bible more and a greater understanding of context
Too deep too fast!
This being our first unit was way too deep too fast! So many of the words and concepts used are so completely foreign to normal language that it is such a huge jump to start with. Some of the words are explained and some are assumed.
The assignment questions are very hard to work out exactly what they want you to say. I have found this the most challenging part. Trying to decipher what it is asking. The majority of our discussions between our group are trying to work out what the questions are asking. Once we finally understand the questions, they are easy enough to answer but if they were reworded in a simpler way it would be much more helpful.
The questions are also very similar to each other and could be answered almost the same. I found myself repeating myself a lot.
Excellent
I like the way the presenter explains Cleary in this course

Humility before honour

Great /Excellent
I really like the short videos it explains of different topics. The way been it is been presented is excellent.
Knowledge, Wisdom & Understanding
This Bible course has been very helpful to understand and learn how to analyse and apply God’s teachings in our daily lives as a student and a believer. The knowledge we generally gain by only just reading or studying the Bible in our own way will not take us where God intends us to be or will not know how we should live according to His purposes or fulfil His calling.
This course has been designed, programmed and delivered in a very easy method for students to learn in their own pace without any inconvenience or complexity, so that the student can learn and grow gradually applying the principles of the Bible and thereby follow the call of God.
Listening to the lectures, taking down notes/writing important points or facts, read and understand the questions and choose the correct answer and submitting them was very enthusiastic.
The more you get to learn and understand the word and delve into the deeper things of God gives you pace to grow more even in the spiritual sense and will help you to operate in a higher dimension.
I believe this was a great opportunity for me to follow this course and is a benefit to complete to the end.
Many thanks to Axx Bible College and the Teachers who shared their knowledge with us. May God Bless you all.

Humility before honour
Thank you for the lessons. It gives me a better understanding of the part we can all play in serving God wherever we are.
I get reminded of the topic of ‘contextualization’ whenever I have opportunity to speak to someone new!
