Liberty BIBL 104: Survey of Old and New Testament
BIBL 104 is Liberty's whole-Bible survey, required in nearly every degree's religion core. It moves through the Old and New Testaments book by book in 8 weeks, with weekly quizzes, discussion posts, and short written assignments tying biblical content to its historical context.

Build my BIBL 104 study planWhat makes it hard
The reading volume is the challenge — covering 66 books in 8 weeks means quizzes pull from a lot of material fast, and students who skim the textbook get caught on detail questions about books, authors, and timelines. The quizzes are open-book, but they're timed, so not knowing where to look costs you.
What you'll cover
- • Old Testament law, history, and prophets
- • Wisdom literature and Psalms
- • The Gospels and the life of Jesus
- • Acts and the early church
- • Pauline and general epistles
- • Biblical timelines and authorship
The BIBL 104 study guide
How to study for Liberty BIBL 104, step by step.
- 1
Map the quiz schedule on day one
BIBL 104 runs on a fixed weekly cadence in an 8-week sub-term, so put every quiz and assignment date on your calendar before the first reading. Surprises are the enemy here, not difficulty.
- 2
Pace the reading daily, not in weekend blocks
Sixty-six books in 8 weeks means the reading volume is the real workload. A daily portion keeps quiz day from being your first pass through the material.
- 3
Build organized notes by module
The quizzes are open-book but timed, so knowing where to look is worth more than the book itself. A one-page summary per module — books covered, authors, key events — beats flipping through the textbook against a timer.
- 4
Drill books, authors, and timelines
The detail questions reward exactly this kind of recall. A few minutes of flashcard review per day on who wrote what and when turns the hardest quiz questions into easy points.

FAQ
Is BIBL 104 hard?
Conceptually no, but the reading volume is real — the whole Bible surveyed in 8 weeks. Students who keep up weekly find the open-book quizzes manageable; students who cram can't navigate the material fast enough within the quiz timer.
Are BIBL 104 quizzes open book?
Yes, but timed — so the strategy is knowing the material well enough that the book is a backup, not a search engine. Organized notes by module make a bigger difference than the textbook itself.
Do I have to take BIBL 104 at Liberty?
Almost every Liberty undergraduate degree requires it or an equivalent as part of the Christian life and thought core, regardless of major. Transfer equivalencies exist but are evaluated case by case.
