Introduction to Biblical Interpretation

This course introduces students to a Biblical understanding of God and His desire to have a relationship with all people.  Questions such as, “Who is God?”, “What is God like?”, and “What has God done?” challenge students to examine cultural views of Christianity in order to develop an informed and personal view of the Christian faith. To understand the foundations of this faith, an emphasis is placed on how the historical events in scripture foreshadow and point towards the need for the Savior: Jesus Christ.  In conjunction with the text, How (Not) to Read the Bible, this biblically-based curriculum will invite students to critically examine the intellectual, spiritual, and practical areas of their lives.
