Did you know that Blue Letter Bible has a learning institute?

Many BLB users are unaware that thousands of people take classes through The Blue Letter Bible Institute (BLBi) to learn about biblical studies, apologetics, and doctrines of the Christian faith.

There are a number of courses available, including Christology, The Attributes of God, Growing in the Grace of God, surveys of the Bible, and Searching for the Truth on Origins.

Our Vision for BLBi

Our vision for BLBi is that it will be a complete course of study about what Christianity believes and teaches. The Blue Letter Bible Institute, when eventually completed, will consist of courses that will cover several major areas of Christian belief and practice. A separate textbook will be prepared for each individual course. The various textbooks are now in the process of being written. The textbooks for the various courses are produced as educational tools explaining what Christians believe and why they believe it. Each course in the program is designed to be used for either self-study, home Bible study, or for the classroom. It is our goal to make the Blue Letter Bible Institute the most comprehensive course of study possible.

However, this is NOT a subsitute for your local church

We are not a substitute for the church. If you are able to attend a class at your local church, a Bible Institute, Bible College, or some other type of Christian training center, then, by all means, do so. We are here to supplement the church. Many people are unable to attend Bible classes or Bible school. We hope to fill the need for those who want a thorough biblical education but cannot, for whatever reason, attend classes. We are presently working with churches and Bible colleges to incorporate BLBi’s course of study into their own program and their material into BLBi.

May God richly bless you as you study with us in the Blue Letter Bible Institute.

  1. Love your website and the ease with finding scriptures. I’m not so keen though on the fact that not even the KJV capitalizes pronouns when referring to God. To me, that practice serves as a reminder that He is the Sovereign God of the Universe.

  3. I am part of a small home church network. All of our members take the BLBi classes – even those among us that have attended Bible College and been ordained. The BLBi classes are tremendously valuable to us all. The Lord is regularly showing us new things through your material. It is meat for the hungry spirit! We regularly recommend your site to everyone we know. Thank you for such an excellent resource, and the obedience that has caused it to exist.

  4. Oh, and since the BLB staff failed to toot their own horn, I’ll do it for them: the classes are college level material, take at your own pace, tests can be taken open-book if you so desire simply by opening another browser window, and FREE. So if anyone out their has any fears or doubts about them (like I once did), please let me dispell them. These classes are fabulously done, and are valuable even from the smallest baby in Christ to the most seasoned saint! Only the Lord himself would not find anything new in them. 🙂

  5. Wondering why the blue letter bible does not capitalize when it says him , his and others when talking about Jesus. Very concerning.

    • John, capitalization of pronouns is a new innovation that was introduced within the last 60 years. The original Hebrew and Greek do not capitalize divine pronouns. There is nothing concerning about it.

      That said, Blue Letter Bible, as a ministry DOES capitalize divine pronouns in our own material, blogs, commentary, etc. However, many of the English translations available do not capitalize divine pronouns, and we cannot edit that when we quote from them. There is nothing wrong with that.

  6. Ok, I have used your study resources for 10 or 11 years. Thoroughly enjoy what you provide for us. Thank you.

    I fell into the “institute” today, and was reading about Bible reliability, the first “class”.

    I get to your analysis on M 5:18. I have to admit, I was disappointed.

    First off, saying the Bible is inerrant because it says it is, isn’t going to win many objectors over with such circular logic. But hopefully no one planned on using that verse in that conversation.

    Second off, the verse is explicit to the LAW, not the NT of the Bible. THE LAW played a unique role in the OT and the NT. And to say, that in the mat 5:18 verse it all of a sudden, in a single stroke, refers to the WHOLE Bible, NT too, and not the LAW as it’s stated, which is an o.t. concept in the context of this conversation, seems a huge eisigetical leap.

    If someone uses those answers to an agnostic or atheist, again, they will be disregarded as a lemming parroting the lie. I think this is doing a disservice to your students.

    Thank you for listening.
