Some of the courses from AWKNG require textbooks. We have received the following from AWKNG with regard to many of our students not being able to afford the cost of textbooks:

“Most AWKNG courses use textbooks that the student will need to acquire in order to fully engage in the course. However, when this is not possible, especially for folks in other countries, students just proceed in the course with only the online resources that are provided.”

We suggest doing a thorough website search for the suggested textbooks, as they may be available for use in online lending libraries, etc.

In this course, Dr. Heiser surveys how the Scriptures came to be, from the original composition to canonical recognition, to transmission of ancient manuscripts, to English translations. He discusses how the roles of archaeology, paleography, and textual criticism contribute to this understanding, and he outlines controversies arising from the intersection of theology (revelation, inspiration, inerrancy) and the evidence yielded by the data.
