Description
The Beginner’s Bible Survey is an introductory course (intended for the first "semester") on the Bible that, in an easy-to-follow format, presents all the important themes of the entire Bible and ties both Old and New Testaments into one story. There is a wealth of information here for those who are interested in where the Bible came from, the history of Israel, the beginnings of the Church, and even the Bible’s description of the end of time. It's a “fundamentals” survey, which means that anyone from high school level upwards will be able to benefit from it.
It is non-denominational, it is not sermons – it’s simply approaching the data of the Bible as a textbook, according to the way the Bible presents itself.
Included within Part Three of the Survey is:
• Where things stand at the beginning of the New Testament
• The Four Gospels and what they describe of Christ's ministry
• The Glory of God, the foundation of the Christian faith
• The work of the Spirit in the Church
• How to teach and preach the Gospel of Christ
• The skill of spiritual survival in hard times
• The book of the Revelation
• How the Old and New Testament pull together into one system
• The structure and function of the Church
Each lesson consists of an informative and engaging video in which the instructor walks you through the concepts, carefully explaining what the ideas are and what they mean for the message of the Bible. Along with the video, you can download the appropriate section of the textbook Mystery Revealed: A Beginner’s Bible Survey, the original text written by the instructor. Then each lesson provides a quiz covering the material in the video lecture, designed to help summarize and enhance your understanding of the concepts.
Your understanding of the Bible, and the God that it describes, will suddenly become fuller and richer after covering this course!
(The instructor's Part One and Part Two courses cover the Old Testament.)

Charles Vogan has been teaching the Bible for the last 40 years in many venues.
He has earned a BA in Bible from Eastern Mennonite College, an M.Div. with a minor in Missions from Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS; a Ph.D. (unaccredited) from International Bible College and Seminary (Independence, MO), and received a Th.M. degree in Biblical Studies from Southeastern Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC.
He has been an occasional conference speaker for various interdenominational organizations. He also served in two churches as Pastor a total of ten years, and not only kept a full program of Bible studies going in the churches but also in the local university with college students.
Vogan was also the Professor of Biblical Interpretation at Washington Baptist University in Annandale, VA for 2 1/2 years, both on the college and seminary levels.
It was during his first pastorate that he began writing his books. To date he has written 90 titles in the area of Biblical Studies – ranging from basic Bible Studies to college-level texts, covering a full range of subjects from book studies to surveys to specialized thematic studies. His latest work is a full-scale Biblical Theology (600 pages), a “capstone” of 40 years of working out the message of the Bible. Published under his own trade name of Ravenbrook Publishers, almost all of these titles are available on Amazon, iTunes and Kindle.
He has also recorded over 50 hours (over 150 videos) of class and presentation videos and successfully used them in teaching students at both the college and seminary level.
In addition to the Biblical Studies, he has written a half-dozen other books on astronomy, amateur radio, historical atlases, and even a children’s book! Besides writing and publishing his own materials for teaching the Bible, he is also a portrait artist, woodworker, avid motorcyclist, and radio amateur.
He is married with six children and twelve grandchildren.
