Here's a good one from Hillsdale College in Michigan: (in six video episodes, each about 30-40 minutes long)

The Genesis Story: Reading Biblical Narratives
Genesis is a book of fundamental importance for the Jewish and Christian faiths and has exerted a profound influence on Western Civilization. In addition to being a great religious text, it is also a literary masterpiece. This course explores some of the work's major narrative themes, including the complex relationship between God and man, the consequences of a rupture in that relationship, and the path towards reconciliation.
Among the primary aims of Hillsdale College are the teaching of the Christian religion “by precept and example” and the “diffusion of sound learning.” These aims rest upon a tradition that views faith and reason as an integrity and affirms their capacity to discover truth about man’s relationship to the divine.

Interesting. I took a look and though I don’t have time just to delve into it, I do plan to. It would appear that there is a similarity between the Old Testament and Aristotle.
Thank you for sharing this.

They have several online courses (non-credit). A recent one was Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. All are archived on their site and you can easily access any of the courses.

Ah yes, Hillsdale College, the only university that is completely independent of government funding.
Hillsdale provides many online courses free of charge, all of them are wonderful sources of education. One course I recommend for everyone, especially leftists, is Constitution 101. (I've completed this one twice)
Upon request, Hillsdale also offers a free subscription to its newletter, Imprimus.
BTW: Larry Arnn, the president of Hillsdale, is a long time friend of Mark Levin.

I knew it! You can always tell a Hillsdale Alum or benefactor. You are absolutely correct about Hillsdale.
Larry Arnn is a friend to a lot of people well-known political theorists/scientists/historians and other related disciplines. He has a B.A. from Arkansas, Ph.D. from Claremont University, CA in Political Science. He assisted Sir Martin Gilbert, Churchill's official biographer.
