  • Even if you have studied the Bible for years, you will still be fascinated with what you learn in these classes. For example:
    • From the Old Testament: why is LORD capitalized over 6000 times in the Old Testament?
    • From the New Testament: What is the origin of the fish symbol for Christianity? Why are Paul's letters arranged the way they are? Why are the books of the New Testament arranged the way they are?
    • From Church History: Why do we have one Bible and yet so many different Christian groups (over 5000)?
    • From the Canonization classes: When were the chapters and verses added?

Dr. Mark Nickens has taught traditional classes (150+) since 1999 and online classes (200+) since 2008. This includes a wide variety of Bible, Church History, and World Religion classes at 20 schools in the USA, Belize, Nigeria, Kenya, and Asia. For more biographic information, go here

  • I am really enjoying the class. Thank you very much for offering this class. I have enjoyed learning and the discussions. And the format is very easy to manage your daily life while going through the class.
  • It is very good. The teachings are making my quiet time and personal Bible study a lot more meaningful. It is giving a much deeper insights. It is like a jigsaw puzzle, all coming together to see God's ultimate plans...thank you so much. I look forward to each week.
  • This study cleared up some things that were not clear for me in the past.
  • The information was well written and was easily understood I was concerned that it would be over my head, which was not the case.
  • The notes in brief that you give to class are very rich in summery form.
  • I really learnt so much from this class. I liked the fact that you made it very convenient. It didn't require me to do it on one particular day.
  • I especially like that we had an entire week to do the readings and make the responses. Some weeks were very busy for me but having that time allowed me to get everything completed.
  • I need a mountain to stand on and proclaim these revelations. My perspective is changed on how I see God. Thank you Mark Nickens.
  • I like the studies, may God bless Dr. Mark Nickens for opening such a big opportunity to advance our Bible knowledge.
  • The class is wow, how I wish the same style is duplicated in our today's systems of learning.
  • The class is an eye opener.
  • (Received while she took the Old Testament class. She gave her age as 80+.) I have learned more about the Old Testament in this course than the many years of attending church and taking courses.
  • (After taking 6 classes) Thank you Dr. Nickens, I loved the classes, they were so organized and easy to access, and the information was awesome.
  • When my granddaughters suggested I might enjoy taking it, I was reluctant to try it as my computer skills are not the best. . . . The format of the course was laid out in such a logical manner that it made learning not only informative but also enjoyable. Each week I became more and more eager to learn the new content in that week's Forum. This class deserves an A+! Thank you so much for such an enjoyable experience! I would be very interested in joining any other classes you offer!

"... they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily ..." From Acts 17:11
