The Bible & Theology Toward Christian Maturity

Journey Through God’s Word With Lectio

The free online weekly reading program from Seattle Pacific University’s Center for Biblical and Theological Education allows you to explore God’s Word, beginning in Genesis, with the guidance of outstanding biblical scholars who have a deeply personal Christian faith. You can read the Lectio, listen to a podcast, or both at spu.edu/lectio.

Over the course of four years, you’ll encounter a majority of the Bible — and do so in tandem with the Seattle Pacific community as students, faculty, and staff focus on the same weekly Scripture in Chapel, community Bible studies, and other weekly worship events. During the 2014–15 academic year, Lectio readings cover Genesis–Exodus 19, the Gospel of Matthew, Romans, and selections from Israel’s story.

In conjunction with the Winter Quarter Lectio readings on Matthew, Professor of New Testament David Nienhuis will host an evening seminar for alumni, local church leaders, and other Lectio readers on Tuesday, January 6. Register at spu.edu/matthew.
