scripture classes

Bible study sessions

Scripture classes are religious education sessions focused on studying sacred texts, particularly the Bible.

Common in schools, churches, and community settings, they teach the content and interpretation of holy writings: The children attend scripture classes on Wednesday mornings.

In some countries, especially Australia and New Zealand, the term specifically refers to weekly religious instruction offered in public schools.
