Teaching the Bible Inductively

Dr. Sean McDowell

We all want our students to read and understand the Bible, and yet we may lack a practical plan for doing so. In this session of the 2026–27 Bible Teacher Network webinar series, Dr. Sean McDowell provides a practical strategy for a 1–2 week study on a New Testament book, specifically for grades 11–12, but could be adapted for grades 9–10. This course equips Bible teachers to lead students in studying Scripture through an inductive approach that builds independence and critical thinking. Rather than focusing on delivering content, teachers will learn how to guide students in observing, interpreting, and synthesizing the text for themselves. Participants will explore practical strategies for structuring classroom experiences that help students think theologically and philosophically. By the end of the course, teachers will be prepared to create meaningful, student-centered Bible study experiences that increase engagement and confidence.
