We resume our studies on Thursday mornings (9:30-11:30 AM), beginning September 14, Room 208 in Calvin Hall.
Who is welcome to attend? All men and women who have a desire to go deeper in theological studies than we can offer in our weekly School of Discipleship. Also, high school and college age students are welcome to attend as long as they are motivated to learn theology at a more advanced level. Over the course of the fall semester we will focus on two important questions in Biblical Theology:
(1) What are the principles for accurately interpreting the Bible? (Hermeneutics)
(2) What are the major themes that emerge from passages in the Bible? (Exegesis)
Each week we will explore a text from the Bible that deals with the central themes of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Consummation. By understanding the themes that knit everything together, we will then be better able to interpret and apply individual passages from the Bible.
