About Bible Study Fellowship | BSF
The BSF system of Bible study is highly organized and disciplined, and uses the technique of exegesis for expository study of the scriptures. BSF holds classes for men, women, children and young adults in 35 countries (2006). There are over 1000 classes worldwide. Classes for men and women are segregated, the exception being young adults where males and females are allowed to mix. Children's classes are also unsegregated. Each study lasts for approximately nine months, and over a seven-year cycle BSF classes cover Genesis, Romans, Matthew, Life of Moses, John, Israel and the Minor Prophets, and Acts of the Apostles.
The BSF system involves four elements; daily questions to encourage personal Bible study, discussion groups (of up to 15 people) for sharing of personal answers to questions, a lecture by the class Teaching Leader covering the past week's scripture with applications for daily living, and finally a set of notes reinforcing lessons from the previous week (plus a new set of questions for the week ahead). BSF classes and materials are provided free of charge.
Often the Teaching Leader and the notes will present historical details obtained from external sources, as an aid to clearer understanding of the context and background of the scripture being studied.
Discussion groups are led by Discussion Leaders, who are specifically directed to avoid any formal teaching role (this being left to the Holy Spirit during member's personal quiet times during the week, and the Teaching Leader in his/her lecture). Discussion Leaders facilitate the discussions, and also perform a shepherding role with group members. They attend a separate two-hour training session each week, which involves an initial pass through the week's questions and answers, and generally a sharing of homiletics (see links below) on the passage being studied.

I'm glad I discovered your lens on BSF; 5 stars! This is my 7th year in BSF and I'm really enjoying studying the Gospel of John. I've heard there may be an 8th study on Isaiah next year.

The BSF was informative, but it didn't list what class they're doing this year, and the following years. I know this information used to be on the website in the past and this is what I'd like to see again.

BSF has been a blessing to me.This is my sixth year and I am already looking forward to the study of John next year. My son who is 15 has gone to the Children's Program for the last 6 years also. He loves it! I encourage all who have children to do this indepth study to know GOD in a more personal way! The wonderful thing about this study is that you and your child read and study the same passages. What better way to spend your time----studying GOD'S WORD with your child! Train up your child in the way he should go..........GOD BLESS YOU

BSF has been the most helpful spirituial experience I've had in a long time. It has been a rock for me during very trying and emotional times. The course on the life of Moses gave me more inspiration as I could relate to the problems that Moses faced as he worked with the people in the wilderness. My family seemed like those people during my trying time and God spoke to me through the messages he gave to Mosed. God bless everybody at BSF .
