Description
Biblical Hermeneutics and Interpretation: Foundations for Understanding ScriptureThis comprehensive course equips students with essential skills for faithful biblical interpretation while exploring key New Testament teachings that demonstrate proper hermeneutical principles in action. The course begins by establishing foundational hermeneutical principles, examining how God reveals Himself through Scripture and addressing the epistemological challenges inherent in biblical interpretation. Students will explore the role of presuppositions, cultural biases, and personal filters that shape our understanding, contrasting biblical revelation with relativistic worldviews to develop discernment in approaching God's Word.The course emphasizes Scripture's unified covenant structure, using the "wheel" analogy to demonstrate how Christ stands at the center of all biblical revelation, from Genesis to Revelation. Students will master the interpretation of major biblical genres-law, narrative, poetry, prophecy, gospel, and epistle-learning how each contributes to God's redemptive plan. Special attention is given to reading Scripture within its proper context while recognizing the overarching covenant framework that binds all biblical books together.Practical application comes through detailed study of Jesus' teachings, particularly the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount, which reveal the character and values of God's kingdom. Students will examine how these teachings challenge cultural assumptions and call believers to authentic discipleship marked by humility, mercy, purity, and peacemaking. The course concludes with analysis of Jesus' Parable of the Sower, exploring how different heart conditions affect our reception and application of God's Word, emphasizing the crucial difference between merely hearing Scripture and truly understanding and living it out.Through this integrated approach, students develop both theoretical understanding of hermeneutical principles and practical skills for faithful biblical interpretation and application.
