ITEE UNIVERSITY 2

General Information And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. II Timothy 2:2 (NIV)

Our Vision World-wide, self-sustaining training movements that biblically equip church leaders

Our Mission Bring relationally-driven biblical ministry education to church leaders lacking access to it

Our Passion Make disciples who become disciple makers

Beginnings In 1979, fifteen mission organizations met together in Vienna, Austria to address the critical need for leadership training in restricted access countries. It was at that meeting that Biblical Education by Extension, hereafter BEE, was founded. The ITEE Global founder participated at

the meeting. He later served as a founding board member. For eight years he served at BEE. It was a successful distance education program and met the need of thousands of leaders over the next 40 years.

The focus on multiplication, teachers going to the students, facilitated learning, dialogue education, and group-learning are concepts that permeate iTEE Global to this very day.

In 2003, BEE World, an offshoot of BEE, started using the Internet for education. At about the same time, courses were redeveloped so that textbooks were no longer required, and all course content could be delivered digitally. Internet Biblical Seminary, BEE World’s training school, grew as an early provider of online theological education.

ITEE UNIVERSITY PAGE 3

Discovery and Launch The founder of iTEE Global discovered that online education could integrate well with Jesus' principles of developing leaders. With extensive international ministry experience iTEE Global staff members began delivering online and face-to-face training ministry in 2014. This foundation led to launching iTEE Global and later its online global platform iTEE University.

By integrating online curriculum of several Christian publishers, along with new training approaches, discipleship principles, and proven educational resources, iTEE Global is addressing the global challenge of training leaders. Sensing new opportunities to serve the needs of the body of Christ globally to equip leaders, the international board of iTEE Global founded the ministry on the 19th of June 2014.

iTEE University was launched in May 2019. It is recognized by Apostolos Theological Seminary (ATS) in Chennai, India. ATS offers certificate, bachelors, and master level programs accredited by NATA Accrediting Association.


Teaching Methods iTEE Global delivers discipleship, pastoral, and leadership education that is biblical, personal, transformational, transferable, practical, flexible, economical, and available 24/7.

Distance learning courses are used for face-to-face and online training, courses with proven track records in over 20 nations. Trainers and facilitators travel to seminar sites and mentor students, teaching them how to train others. Between visits or online sessions, individuals work on course books and fulfill

practical projects. Some students complete most studies online. Others meet regularly with fellow students, and then with teachers, guiding them through study material. Dialogue between fellow learners and trainers is essential to apply study materials to practical life and ministry issues.

iTEE Global makes courses available online as well as in printed form, reaching students affordably within their particular set of needs.

Course Descriptions Spiritual Growth

The Christian Life (BEE World)

This course helps students grow in their relationships with Christ and equips them to help others grow as well, no matter where they are in that relationship.

Spiritual Formation (TV Seminary)

Increasing numbers of believers are not experiencing the joy and life-change offered by Jesus Christ. They are living with troubled hearts. In "Spiritual Formation" course Dennis Kizziar explains the heart from a biblical perspective, identifies the three common obstacles to a life of freedom, and shows step by step how to rediscover God's joy and peace. Want to live with heart that has been changed, freed, healed, and renewed? It's time to get to the heart of the matter!

Culture Meets Scripture (ITEEG)

This course guides participants in examining their particular cultural practices and cause them to “meet” Scripture – see what Scripture says about those practices – with hope that learners’ communities will make choices to honor God.

Bible Study Methods/Hermeneutics

Studying the Bible (BEE World)

This course teaches students techniques for studying the Bible using an inductive approach; students will learn to observe, interpret, and apply Scripture to daily life.

Bible Study Methods (BEE World)

This course uses both oral and written methods to learn inductive Bible study methods (BEE Women’s Ministry facilitators only at this time).

He Gave Us Scripture: Foundations of Interpretation (Third Mill)

Evangelical Christians affirm the Scriptures as God's inerrant word, but we still disagree sometimes over the meaning of particular verses or passages, and these differences can influence our Christian doctrine and practice. One reason for these disagreements is that there are many different approaches to interpreting the Bible. But how do we know which approach to interpretation is the most responsible? This course will help answer that question. It is based on the lecture series, He Gave Us Scripture: Foundations of Interpretation, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr. with contributions from a variety of professors.

Course Descriptions continued Old Testament

Advanced Studies in the OT 1-2 (BEE World)

Students will examine each Old Testament book, its key words, its themes, and its role in the big picture of the kingdom of God and the chosen seed.

Incredible Journey (BEE World)

This course provides a basic survey for the entire Bible, grounding students in the Word of God.

Kingdom, Covenants & Canon of the Old Testament (Third Mill)

This course gives a brief survey of the Old Testament, examining the themes of kingdom, covenants and canon. We will see that the Old Testament is not a random amalgam of episodes, genealogies and prophetic tidbits. Instead, it is unified around the

central theme of the kingdom of God which was administered through covenants and applied to life through the Old Testament as a "canon," or guideline. This course is based on the lecture series, Kingdom, Covenants & Canon of the Old Testament, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and presented by Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr.

The Pentateuch (Third Mill)

The first five books of the Old Testament are commonly called the Pentateuch. They tell the story of the nation of Israel from creation to preparation for the conquest of the Promised Land. But is the Pentateuch simply the historical account of God’s chosen people, or is it something more? This course explores the books of Genesis through Deuteronomy, examining why they were written, what they meant to their original audience, and how we should respond to them today. This course is based on the lecture series, The Pentateuch, produced

by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Dr. Scott Redd with contributions from a variety of professors. This course includes the lessons that are also offered separately in the courses Primeval History and Father Abraham. If you have already taken either The Primeval History or Father Abraham.

The Primeval History

Genesis 1-11 contains some of the most familiar stories in the Bible. The creation week, Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, Noah's ark, the Tower of Babel Christians know these stories well. But how many believers know what Moses intended these stories to teach? In its ancient context, this primeval history was not a simple historical record. Rather, it was a forceful argument condemning Egypt and encouraging Israel to follow Moses to the Promised Land.

Course Descriptions cont.

Father Abraham (Third Mill)

Christians, Muslims and Jews all look to the patriarch Abraham as the father of their faiths, but these religions draw very different conclusions from his biography. This series explores the account of Abraham's life in Genesis from a distinctly Christian perspective in order to answer questions such as: What did these stories mean for those who first received them? And what do they mean for us today?

The Book of Joshua (Third Mill)

The book of Joshua covers the period of Israel's history from the conquest of Canaan to just after Joshua's death. Although certain events in the book can leave modern audiences feeling more than a little uncomfortable, it helps to remember that God promised to be with Joshua in all that he did, especially in leading the Israelites into the Promised Land, establishing Israel's tribal

inheritances, and calling God's people to remain faithful to the terms of God's covenant. This course teaches about the background, purpose, contents, and application of the book of Joshua. It is based on the lecture series, The Book of Joshua, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and is hosted by Dr. Seth Tarrer, with contributions from a variety of professors.

Genesis (TV Seminary)

With Pastor Ronnie Stevens you are going to immerse into the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, the book of beginnings. We live in the world where most people reject the authenticity of the Book of Genesis as far as the truth claims go. These challenges come from science and the alternate religion of atheism. It is important for Christian students today to examine and prepare the answer to the attacks from the enemies of God. The Book of Genesis is the story about what happens when we tell lies, when

we don't understand what our true identity is. This book of the Old Testament points out to Jesus, so it is worth being studied carefully.

He Gave Us Prophets (Third Mill)

Many Christians are intrigued by biblical predictions but at a loss when it comes to understanding them. Feeling overwhelmed by their complicated history and literature, we often disregard them altogether, but when we understand the prophets' motivations and methods, we are better equipped to discover the significance of their words for today. To that end, this course dispels common misunderstandings about the prophets, provides guidelines for interpreting prophecy, and gives the student confidence to begin studying prophetic literature. This course is based on the lecture series, He Gave Us Prophets, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and presented by Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr.

The Prophetic Wisdom of Hosea (Third Mill)

The prophet Hosea ministered during one of the most difficult times in Israel's history. In Hosea's day, both Israel and Judah faced serious threats from Assyria. In addition, by the time Hosea completed his book, the kingdom of Israel had fallen under God's severe judgment, and judgment threatened Judah as well. In the midst of these struggles, God called Hosea to speak wisdom to his people. So, what did Hosea tell them? And what can we learn from his wisdom today? This course introduces the background of the prophet Hosea and his book, provides an overview of the book's content and structure, and explores the wisdom revealed in it. It is based on the lecture series, The Prophetic Wisdom of Hosea, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and is hosted by Rev. Michael J. Glodo,

with contributions from a variety of professors.

New Testament

Advanced Studies in the NT (BEE World)

Students will examine all twenty-seven New Testament books, their authors, their historical context, and their unique messages and purposes for both the Christian believers and a wider audience.

Kingdom & Covenant in the New Testament (Third Mill)

Have you ever wondered why the New Testament gives so much attention to the kingdom of God or how this central theme relates to the new covenant in Christ? This course explores these two fundamental features of the New Testament by examining where they originated and what they mean for us today. This course is based on the lecture series, Kingdom & Covenant in the New Testament, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Dr. Simon Vibert with

contributions from a variety of professors.

The Gospels (Third Mill)

The four gospels are key books of the Bible, since they narrate the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Each gospel has a unique perspective and a unique purpose. This course explains the background, the structure, the main contents, and the major themes of each gospel. It is based on the lecture series, The Gospels, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Dr. Pete Alwinson with contributions from a variety of professors.

Life of Christ 1 and 2 (BEE World)

The Book of Acts (Third Mill)

Christians today often turn to the book of Acts to explore questions related to the charismatic gifts or to investigate issues related to church government. While these concepts are certainly talked about in the Book of Acts, what was Luke's main point as he wrote this book? What big picture did he try to give readers as a context for understanding these secondary matters? This course answers those questions by explaining the background, structure, and content of the book, including a study of the major themes and guidelines for applying the lessons of Acts today. This course is based on the lecture series, The Book of Acts, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and presented by Dr. Hans F. Bayer.

Acts (TV Seminary)

The Book of Acts is a book about mission and this course follows the main storyline in Acts and

focuses on the spread of the gospel and missionary expansion. Special emphasis is given to using the book of Acts to gain understanding of the history of the early church, methods of evangelism and contemporary issues which are addressed in it.

Romans (BEE World)

This course focuses on grace and salvation in the Christian walk as discussed in Romans, using the material from the Romans and Galatians course.

Paul's Prison Epistles (Third Mill)

As Christians, we face many challenges to our faith. False teachings and world views assault our loyalty to Christ. Suffering tempts us to think that God is not in control or that he does not have our best interests at heart. Our relationships with other believers are often strained to the point that we doubt the value of the church. This course will help you deal with these issues as you explore the teachings of Colossians, Ephesians, Philemon, and

Philippians. It is based on the lecture series, Paul's Prison Epistles.

Galatians (BEE World)

This course focuses on grace and salvation in the Christian walk as discussed in Galatians, using the material from the Romans and Galatians course.

The Book of Hebrews (Third Mill)

This course explains the background, purpose, structure and content of the book of Hebrews, one of the most challenging books in the New Testament. Many of its topics and themes are difficult to understand, but it helps when we recognize that the original audience was facing persecution and that they were tempted to turn away from Christ. That’s why the author of Hebrews placed his emphasis on standing strong in the faith, and it’s why this book is one of the most valuable and encouraging to Christians in every age. This course is based on the lecture series, The Book of Hebrews, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Dr. Stephen Um with contributions from Dr. Jonathan Linebaugh and a variety of professors.

The Epistle of James (Third Mill)

The Epistle of James is an intensely practical book for readers in every age. James' original audience had professed faith in Christ, but many were not living lives that reflected their beliefs. To address this disparity, James dealt with real-world issues that still speak to us today. This course looks at the background, structure and content of the Epistle of James and explores the wisdom and practical instruction in James that remain relevant for modern readers. It is based on the lecture series, The Epistle of James, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Dr. Paul Gardner.

The Book of Revelation (Third Mill)

The Book of Revelation can be both exciting and confusing. It's exciting because it records dramatic visions about the role of Jesus and the church in the history of the world. But it's also confusing because its imagery is

so foreign to modern readers. Even so, the overall message is clear: King Jesus is returning in victory. This course introduces viewers to the background and primary message of the Book of Revelation, and it summarizes the book’s structure, content, original meaning and modern application. This course is based on the lecture series, The Book of Revelation, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Dr. Steve Brown.

Doctrine/Theology

The Heart of Paul's Theology (Third Mill)

Paul passionately proclaimed the good news of individual salvation in Jesus Christ. But this wasn't the heart of his gospel. According to Paul, salvation is not primarily about individuals being saved from the wrath of God. Rather, the gospel is about the triumph of Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God. It is about God redeeming and recreating the heavens and the earth through Jesus Christ, and about our participation in that renewed world. We often struggle with individualism and legalism, as well as confusion regarding Christ's second coming. This course will help you deal with these issues as you explore the central message of Paul and review the teachings of Galatians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, and 1 and 2 Corinthians. You will gain a better understanding of the kingdom of God and rejoice in Jesus and the amazing plans He

has for His people and His world. This course is based on the lecture series, The Heart of Paul's Theology, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and presented by Dr. Reggie M. Kidd.

Building Your Theology (Third Mill)

For many, theology seems complicated, dry and abstract. It shouldn't be that way if it is done properly. As an introduction to theology, this course will help you learn to build your theology on the certain foundation of the Scriptures but also with pathos and practical application. It teaches the purpose and importance of doing theology, the different sources of revelation, the meaning of inspiration, the proper interpretation of Scripture, and the key distinctive emphases of reformed theology. This course is based on the lecture series, Building Your Theology, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and presented by Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr.

Building Systematic Theology (Third Mill)

Throughout the history of the church, faithful Christians have used systematic theology to communicate the teachings of our faith. For many, it has proven to be a helpful tool for expressing ideas clearly, and for organizing them in ways that increase our understanding of Scripture. This course analyzes the steps of building systematic theology, especially the formation of technical terms, theological propositions, and doctrinal statements. It examines the legitimacy of systematic theology, the place of human logic in the process, and the dangers and benefits of this tool. This course is based on the lecture series, Building Systematic Theology, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and presented by Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr.

Building Biblical Theology (Third Mill)

Faithful Christians have always recognized the importance of progress in biblical history, especially as it relates to humanity's fall into sin and to God's redemptive work. Biblical theology is a specialized discipline that studies this progress by tracing the development of theological ideas between historical epochs. Used rightly, it is a helpful tool for interpreting and applying the Bible. This course explains the meaning of biblical theology, examines the way it is developed, defends its legitimacy, and gives examples from both the Old and New Testaments of its use. It is based on the lecture series, Building Biblical Theology, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and presented by Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr.

The Apostles' Creed (Third Mill)

There are many denominations, divisions and theological disputes in the modern church, but despite these types of disunity, there is a common core of belief that all faithful Christians have affirmed throughout history. For almost two millennia, this core of belief has been summarized in the Apostles' Creed. This course explains the history and use of the Apostles' Creed, as well as the details and significance of each of its articles of faith. It is based on the lecture series, The Apostles' Creed, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Dr. Van Gayton with contributions from a variety of professors.

We Believe in God (Third Mill)

This course briefly surveys what theologians call theology proper or the doctrine of God. It deals with questions such as: Who is God? What are his attributes? What is his eternal plan? What are his works in history? At the most fundamental level, the Scriptures

were given to teach us about who God is and what he has done for us. In fact, knowing God is essential for us to understand ourselves and our world. This course is based on the lecture series, We Believe in God, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Rev. Dr. Thurman Williams with contributions from a variety of professors.

We Believe in the Holy Spirit (Third Mill)

Practically speaking, the Holy Spirit is the person of the Trinity who is most involved in our daily lives, but many Christians know far more about the Father and the Son than they do about the Spirit. In this series we'll discover how the doctrine of the Holy Spirit developed historically, and we'll explore the Spirit's dynamic work in the world, in the church, and in believers. This course is based on the lecture series, We Believe in the Holy Spirit, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted

by Dr. Ramesh Richard with contributions from a variety of professors.

What is Man? (Third Mill)

This course is an introduction to the doctrine of man. In every culture throughout history, people have asked questions such as, "Who are we?" and "Why are we here?" The Bible tells us that we are God's images, created to rule over creation on his behalf and to turn the world into his earthly kingdom. Sin has damaged us and complicated our work, but by God's grace in Christ, we can be restored, and our work can be completed. This course is based on the lecture series What is Man?, produced by Third Millennium Ministries. and hosted by Dr. Greg Perry with contributions from a variety of professors.

Your Kingdom Come: The Doctrine of Eschatology (Third Mill)

The topic of eschatology, or the end times, has fascinated people for centuries, but what does the Bible say about this extraordinary subject? What future has God planned for his creation and his people? In this series, we examine what the Scriptures teach about the last days, including a variety of challenging topics, such as the afterlife, the general resurrection, and the consummation of Christ's messianic kingdom in the new heavens and new earth. This course is based on the lecture series, Your Kingdom Come: The Doctrine of Eschatology, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Dr. Matt Friedeman with contributions from a variety of professors.

Practical Ministry

Making Biblical Decisions (Third Mill)

Christian morality has always been challenged and rejected by unbelievers, but today even many believers have lost their moral footing. Moreover, believers who want to live ethically are frequently confused by the complexities of ethical decisions.

This course is based on the lecture series, Making Biblical Decisions, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and presented by Dr. John M. Frame.

The second traces the history of the missionary mandate from the first century to the present, and the final section examines a variety of strategies for evangelism and church planting that are currently producing dramatic results in difficult settings. Each section encompasses one book and requires external research and a report.

Church Planting (TV Seminary)

The subject of church planting has received much attention in recent years and yet one-third of the residents of Planet Earth are still without a local church. An experienced church planter, a professor of mission and

intercultural studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Craig Ott combines sound biblical principles with the best practices around the world and provides a practical guidance for church planters. The task of planting and reproducing churches involves a comprehensive array of topics. Craig Ott examines the biblical mandate for church planting, discusses the role and qualities of a church planter, describes the models and approaches to church planting, shares practical guidelines for leading the church and considers factors that undergird effective church planting.

The purpose of this course is to explore Christian faith and Islam and discover what it means for two communities to be engaged with each other in peacemaking ways and what it means for a Christian church to be faithful to its calling in Christ. David W. Shenk hopes that this course will equip the listeners in ways that will help them have a gentle confidence as they engage with Muslims in conversations about faith. David W. Shenk tries to reflect what he has learned from Muslims about the essence of Islam and does his best to represent it clearly. But he also looks at Islam as a Christian. It is important for Christians around the world to understand what Islam is all about.

Spiritual Growth

One to One (BEE World)

This course is designed to help a young believer or unbeliever by introducing the student to who Jesus is. (If you do not know who Jesus is, or if you are not sure of your salvation, study this part carefully). It also serves as a discipleship guide for believers to use with new believers. We recommend studying this part even if Christ is already Lord of your life. The more knowledge you have of the truth of the gospel the easier if will be to share this truth with non-believers. Unit 2 introduces the importance of a devotional Bible study or Quiet Time. A Christian cannot grow spiritually without interacting with the Word of God. God's word is spiritual nourishment for the believer. Study this part and make Quiet Time part of your life. You will experience spiritual growth

through reading, meditating, and applying the Word of God in your daily Quiet Time. Units 3 and 4 deal with topics essential to Christian living that will equip you in areas important for spiritual maturity.
