Bible Studies
What ages are your discussion guides written for?
Our guides are primarily written for students aged 7 to 16. However, while children aged 7-8 can definitely participate and benefit from the content, they often struggle to anchor the dialogue if they're the oldest in the group. This curriculum is designed for multi-age families and groups with an older child (10+). Families and groups with only children aged 9 and under may find the discussions more challenging to maintain without an older child to bridge the gap between the adult's questions and the younger students' observations.
Do I need a particular version of the Bible?
We primarily use the ESV translation in our studies. Occasionally, we reference other translations for specific verses. However, you can easily use your preferred Bible translation for any of our studies.
What denomination are you?
Talk Through the Bible is not affiliated with a particular Christian denomination. Our Bible curriculum aims to help you explain Christian doctrines to your children as you study through each book of the Bible and various topics arise.
What do you believe?
You can read our statement of faith here.
Can I use the discussion guides as a Bible credit for homeschooling?
Absolutely! As the teacher, you choose what your students receive credit for. The Pentateuch is a full-credit, one-year Bible curriculum with 31 weeks of lessons. If you want more structured teaching time, you can also include an Advent study, download our free Holy Week discussion guide, or complete the Israelites' journey into the Promised Land with our 4-week Joshua discussion guide. All of our discussion guides include links to additional reading and optional activities if you want your students to do more to earn their credit based on age. If you're looking for a half-credit course, you can combine any of our Bible studies.
Can these Bible studies be used to lead a Sunday School class?
They can! Talk Through the Bible is completely open-and-go, so it’s convenient even when teachers have to rotate or need a substitute. I'm currently going through Genesis with the 4th-6th grade class at my church. The lessons can be completed in 30-40 minutes, depending on the number of students and how quickly you push the discussion forward. I love discussion-based classes because the students get to know each other and form friendships, they ask questions, they learn what they're interested in because it's ok to go "off topic," and they make connections with the sermons. By the end of Genesis, students will have a solid foundation of theology and Christian doctrine.
