Description

This course focuses on discovering and practicing multiple ways of teaching and learning the Bible, as a means of interpreting and confessing the Word of God in a variety of contexts. The goal is to prepare leaders to meet the pressing challenge of inviting others into deep yet critically sustaining relationship with the Bible as the Book of Faith. The method is intentionally interdisciplinary, drawing on diverse practices of pedagogy and theological interpretation. Students reflect on how their own experiences and the experiences of Christian communities shape the teaching and learning of Scripture for the sake of the world.
