The Church Bible Study | Media Gratiae Online Course
This is an online course on Media Gratiae Online. You get digital access to all of The Church Bible Study content for life.
ABOUT
The feature-length documentary, books, and 12 video lessons are designed to help you learn about the true nature of the church and how it is intended to function. The more we understand this, the more we will love the church. Join us as we explore the history of the church over the last 2,000 years, from the very beginnings of the church all the way through today.
The church is truly the most glorious thing under heaven, for it is the communion of the saints, the pillar and ground of truth, household of God, and the bride of Christ. Join us as we explore over 2,000 years of church history, from its first-century foundations in Ancient Israel to its global presence today.
FEATURING: Gregg Allison, Voddie Baucham, Josh Buice, Mark Dever, Salvador Gomez, Jeffrey Johnson, Robert Letham, Anthony Mathenia, Tom Nettles, Michael Reeves, John Snyder, Owen Strachan, Sam Waldron, Jeremy Walker, and Paul Washer.
Note: The documentary component has been lightly edited from its original format in order to remove the footage of a contributor whose life and teachings we can no longer condone. Visit Banner of Truth for a biblical response to the fall of Christian leaders.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Church Bible Study Set, led by Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, is a 12-week multimedia Bible study
This project is divided into two halves.
1. The Church: Pillar and Ground of Truth. The Church: Pillar and Ground of Truth is a feature-length documentary (01:45:00) with an accompanying book by the same title.
2. The Church: Her Nature, Authority, Purpose, and Worship. The 12 video lessons and accompanying book are designed to help your church or small group dive deeper into the themes and realities presented in the film.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

ENDORSEMENTS
“The Apostle Paul lamented the religious people of his day who were zealous for God, but whose zeal was actually leading them astray because it was founded on ignorance rather than knowledge. In much the same way, many Christians today love an idea of the church, but an idea that is wrong because it is not founded on truth. These excellent resources will grow your love for the church because they will grow your knowledge of the church—her nature, her authority, her purpose, and her worship. They will give you the knowledge you may lack, the knowledge you need, to understand why the church is central to God’s purposes in the world and, therefore, central to the Christian life.”
