Biblical History by Rev. Oliver Olson

All Scripture is inspired by God, to train people in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Bible is the original authority on God, and it would serve any follower of Jesus well to know as much about it as possible. Ollie Olson has taken this to heart, and spent his entire life absorbed in the Bible. In his week with Kairos, the students are given an opportunity to become absorbed in the Bible as well, to understand just how powerful it is.

Session Objectives

  • Exploration of foundational topics through Scripture
  • Encourage understanding about the Bible’s authority
  • Answer student questions on any Biblical topic
  • Encourage students to explore the Bible for themselves

    Had a fantastic class today with Ollie, raising topics (the whole time!) about the Bible and various theological questions.  It was so productive and exciting to realize new things I never saw before about Scripture.  Never got to the “planned” lesson, but God was definitely here in this place and we learned so much!  I’m loving these lessons with such a wise and Biblically-knowledgeable man.

    I love Ollie! He is really personal, listens and tries to answer ALL questions (3 hrs of questions yesterday), and he imparts so much wisdom! Right now we are learning about prophecy!

  • PJ Teesdale

    Yay prophecy! It ties the Bible together in my mind like nothing else.

  • Stephanie Lyon

    Learning about prophecy today and what the Bible says about the end times and our responsibilities as Christians.  Learning things I never thought of before!

    I love how much Ollie encourages us to ask questions and form our own opinions. His biblical knowledge is staggering. I can’t wait to learn more tomorrow!
