IBS Core Courses - Summer 2019
One important foundation for your biblical and theological development is the eleven core courses offered through the Institute of Biblical Studies (IBS). These eleven courses are designed to equip you for a lifetime of ministry.
Preparing for IBS
IBS courses move at a fast pace and cover a lot of ground over two weeks. Many staff have discovered that by completing most their reading before they come, their learning experience at IBS is more enjoyable and less stressful. We would encourage you to try to do as much of your reading before you come.
Course syllabi for the IBS core classes will be placed on-line as they become available. Syllabi can be obtained by clicking on link after course description below. If the link does not work, it means the syllabus is not yet available. These syllabi not only tell you what the required books are but also tell you specifically what you will be required to read.
Ordering your IBS Books
It is your responsibility to secure the required books for your classes. We only order books if a book is not publically available. To make it easier to order your books, we will provide a complete list of required books for IBS with IBSN numbers. You can find all these books on Amazon.com.
