This course introduces students to a radically different approach to Bible study. This is a humble approach that intentionally seeks to submit to God’s Word and to be mastered by the Word. Much of our academic training has emphasized the desire of students to master the materials being studied. We even have an academic degree that suggests the student has succeeded in the task of mastery. we call that first graduate-level credential the “Master Degree.” However, Robert Mulholland, professor and author of Shaped by the Word suggests that we bring that same desire of mastery to God’s Word and miss the teaching that God desires for us. He is Lord. He is Master. And we must humble ourselves to hear His Words. Join me in this quest to discipline ourselves as we learn to Study Afresh!

Study Afresh
Welcome to Study Afresh! This is an on-line study of the “Monastery of the Heart” series. This course is based on Robert Mulholland’s Shaped by the Word. I highly recommend you buy a copy of Dr. Mulholland’s book and use it to follow along as we explore new ways to Study Afresh!
