How to start

  1. Open olivetree.com (opens an external site) and read what Olive Tree Bible Software says about itself before you read anything else.
  2. Confirm the cost and level fit: varies, intermediate, over ongoing.
  3. Note the tradition — Broadly evangelical. It will shape what you are taught, and that is worth knowing going in.
  4. Put the first session in your calendar now. The gap between reading about study and doing it is a calendar entry.
