Biblical Interpretation (DMin)

January Intensives – Week One – January 6-10, 2024

This course will include a survey of the message in the Old and New Testaments, and the role of hermeneutics and biblical theology as they apply to the church and ministry today. Students will consider ways in which they can use the Bible in ministry and mission, particularly in preaching, ethics, apologetics, and missiology.
