Course: Biblical Interpretation – Pastor Tim Munson.

The course is designed to provide skills in understanding the Bible and applying it in a way that brings about personal formation and congregational transformation which is relevant to our world today. The nature of communication will be considered, and a systematic review of the various parts of the Bible and the ways we interpret those parts will be made. We will also consider how the bible was written and assembled, how it has been interpreted through the course of time, and the theological issues involved in interpretation.

New Testament – Pastor Rob Rice.

This course covers, in overview fashion, the New Testament, including its historical and geographical background. Each book will be analyzed as to its historical setting, author, recipients, purpose, genre and theology. The concept and consolidation of the New Testament books and the development of our modern text will also be discussed. There will be an emphasis on using the New Testament to bring about spiritual formation and congregational transformation.
