The Center for Continuing Education at Yale Divinity School provides opportunities and resources for churches, clergy, and laity to foster the knowledge and love of God in their communities.
This program is open to anyone interested in theological education. There are no prior educational requirements necessary to participate. Courses can count towards continuing education requirements for some clergy. Participants receive a Yale Certificate of Completion at the end of the course week.
Summer Study includes a keynote lecture on Monday, June 2 with YDS Professor Bruce Gordon on “The Global Bible and the Necessity of Humility.”
The mission of the Yale Bible Study is to engage clergy and lay audiences in individual and 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.
