“I want to thank Yale Bible folk for presenting Professor Lin whose scholarship about the book of Revelation was above and beyond what I ever expected. She was so well prepared and enthusiastic about this esoteric book that my head was spinning from all the details she imparted, including the appropriate art along with her presentation. This class was Yale at its best.” - Participant from Prof. Lin’s Revelation Bible Study. Prof. Lin is giving the Summer Study Keynote on June 2, 2026. Register here.

The mission of the Yale Bible Study is to engage clergy and lay audiences in small group Bible study by providing studies of biblical books, deepened by insights from Yale Divinity School professors. These materials form an accessible, free, and deeply thoughtful and informed group Bible study program.
