[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am agnostic, but would like to try out a Bible study this year - something online, most likely.  For background - I'm a woman and was raised protestant and now attend a Unitarian church.  Looking generally to explore spirituality and religion, and it's been a very long time since I've read a Bible. Any women's online Bible studies that are any good, and that might be a good fit for someone like me?     [/quote]

OP, I like this devotional for a daily reader:https://www.amazon.com/Mockingbird-Devotional-Good-Today-Every/dp/148402771X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=themockblog-20&linkId=f476ba72a9f7857f1d6db96fe7325bde&language=en_US. Though I linked to the print version, you can also find some good (not quite daily) writings on this site: https://mbird.com/category/bible/. Mockingbird is a group of mainly Episcopal, younger priests and theologians focused on themes of grace in the Bible and in culture. It's usually fresh, lively, and interesting writing, and always grounded in Scripture. Sarah Condon, in particular, is one of the writers whose voice I particularly appreciate. She's funny and relatable.

This app for your phone includes various devotional plans/readings that you might find helpful to follow along with: https://www.youversion.com/the-bible-app/.

And if you (like me) were raised in a church but feel like you didn't get the full picture in your childhood, you might find a book like this one a good read as an overview back into the Bible: https://www.amazon.com/Story-Stories-Guided-Genesis-Revelation/dp/0830858164. I've just started in, but it's such a helpful, narrative way to tie together the overarching story being told through the Bible.

Finally, it's not a Bible study, and certainly not online, but Alpha courses (mainly offered through Episcopal churches) are a nice way to explore the overall themes of Christianity in a low-key, non-pressure group setting. The format is a dinner, short video, and then discussion group. There are a number of courses kicking off in January and February at churches around the region: https://alphausa.org/try[/quote]
