Curious about the Bible, but get turned off by religion?

I teach a short course on the Bible for the irreligious. We walk through the Bible, focusing on the humanistic questions the book asks:

- What does real justice look like, and how is it often perverted?
- How do oppression and hope shape people?
- What is humanity’s role in the Universe?
- What do people owe to other people?

The Biblical story has shaped the modern world; from it flow liberation movements and religious terrorism alike. Understanding the Bible may be more important now than ever before.

I passionately teach the Bible without bias. I’m a summa cum laude graduate of Religious Studies and History, have written a thesis on Historical Jesus Studies, and have taught the Bible in many odd settings. I’m also agnostic, so you can be sure I won’t secretly try to slip in any proselytizing!

This course is designed to be eye-opening to adults and teens alike. It will ask many important questions, and challenge all simple answers.

    Review of Seattle SAT Coaching, February 26, 2009

    Ever wonder who can get a perfect score on the SAT? Well, this tutor can, and he shares his knowledge enthusiastically with students. Brandon is self-effacing and very approachable, putting kids at ease immediately. He works through problems with them with kindness and patience. My daughter's geometry skills and math confidence have steadily improved with Brandon's help. Another child of mine benefitted from his tips for taking the SAT and ACT standardized tests. His help contributed to her significantly improving her scores.

    Review of Seattle SAT Coaching, February 22, 2009

    From day one, Brandon provided two key components: a well-thought-out study plan, and just as important a spark for learning. His engaging style and breadth of knowledge was a perfect fit for us. Especially fitting for those with attention challenges, his methods proved to be highly effective.
