This book study aims to accomplish the following objectives:

Format
Each week focuses on one section of 1 Thessalonians. The guided study breaks down into three sections each week:
Pre-Work (about one hour): Students engage the week’s text by reading it aloud and completing an initial arc or bracket.
Live Class (about two hours): Students meet via Google Meet for the live class time to discuss their arcs or brackets and study the text together.
Post-Work (two hours): Students dig more deeply into the text and refine their arc.
Am I ready for this course?
Students must demonstrate a basic skill and knowledge of the Bible study method known as arcing. Students who have received a certificate in Biblearc’s Arcing or Bracketing courses qualify for the course. If you have not received a certificate, you can provide a sample of your work when you enroll.
