Introductory Bible Course ( CHR 227 )

This course equips you to handle God's Word joyfully, passionately and correctly. How? We will explore the story that ties all the books of the Bible together and read almost the entire Bible. You will be trained to study the Bible together and individually in a reliable and practical way: inductive Bible study. To accomplish this, you will study in depth one or more books from each major biblical genre: a historical book, a prophet, a letter, etc. Once you have completed the course, you can use and enhance your developing inductive study skills for the rest of your life. In addition, you will practice biblical meditation and increase your ability to share the Word: lead a Bible study group or give solid biblical preaching. All of the above is accomplished by learning together and with a personal tutor. In summary 1. Study inductively to get to the true heart and life direction of God's Word (this will be the main emphasis throughout the course). 2. Discover God's story. 3. Meditate on the Bible to expand and review a little more on individual passages. 4. Share the Word through Bible study or small group preaching, because sharing leads to deeper and richer learning as the Word comes to light. These courses fulfill the U of N core curriculum requirement for Bible. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
