• Description of website written by ChatGPT:
• StudyTheChurch.com, created by Dr. Mark Nickens, a seasoned religion professor with three decades of experience across 20 schools in six countries, offers a comprehensive array of resources for those interested in deepening their understanding of Christianity and its history. The website features over 100 concise articles in its "Church-history-opedia," exploring topics like the origins of Christian symbols and the development of biblical texts. Users can engage with detailed church history timelines, participate in free online courses through the Trinitas Bible Institute, and access self-paced lessons in biblical Greek. Additionally, the site provides challenging Bible trivia quizzes, monthly church history newsletters, and insights into classic Christian spiritual writings. Dr. Nickens also offers one-hour classes, available both in-person and via Zoom, to further facilitate learning and discussion within church communities.


• Website philosophy: I have taught over 400 Bible and Church History classes since 1994, in online classes, in day classes with college students, in night classes with working adults, and with groups of pastors and Bible teachers in the USA and other countries. In all those classes, I have witnessed many people grow to love God and the Bible more. I am convinced that learning more about the Bible, present Christianity, and the rich Christian past motivates people toward a greater commitment to, maturity in, and love of God.
• Mission statement: This website exists to provide people with a deeper understanding of the Bible and Church History for the purpose of loving and serving God better.
• “Ad gloriam Dei": Latin for “To the glory of God.”
