Most Christians see the Bible as God\u2019s authoritative Word and want to live biblically by applying Scripture in our lives. Yet, how does one coherently distinguish between helpful and not-so-helpful ways of interpreting and applying the Bible for oneself, and help others to do the same? This course provides handles to help participants interpret and apply Scripture in light of its unique human-written yet God-breathed nature, its diverse genres yet unified trajectory, and its historical-cultural distance yet contemporary relevance. Participants will learn to beneficially engage with the interaction between author, text, and reader, and to thoughtfully wrestle with the continual need for fresh interpretation and application of an unchanging Scripture in an ever-changing world.<\/p>\n
