Biblical Interpretation
A foundational introduction to the Christian Scriptures that traces the whole biblical drama—from creation to new creation—while clarifying the Bible’s central theological themes and locating each book within its historical setting. You will engage key moments in the canon, learn how the Old and New Testaments speak to one another, and practice sound methods of interpretation rooted in the Anglican tradition. Along the way, the course equips you with contemporary hermeneutical tools and habits of reading that are faithful, practical, and pastorally wise.
The Rev. Dr. Don Collett was drawn to Trinity through his interest in Biblical Theology and its importance for the formation of clergy in the ministry of Word and sacrament. With a BA from Montana State University, an MDiv from Westminster Seminary in California, and a PhD from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, he serves as Professor of Old Testament. Ordained as a deacon in 2016 and priest in 2017 in the Anglican Diocese of Egypt, his approach centers upon classroom teaching, the ministry of Word and sacrament, and forming relationships with students seeking to enter ministry.
Prof. Collett's main contribution to Trinity's vision is training clergy in how to preach and teach the Bible. His work focuses on Biblical Theology, theological exegesis, hermeneutics, and the history of interpretation. He participates actively in the life of the residential seminary community, believing that formation happens not just in the classroom but through shared life together.
He loves the residential community life at Trinity, where relationships and formation can flourish in proximity. His hope is to see students get excited about the Bible and preaching Jesus Christ. When not teaching or serving in Word and sacrament, Dr. Collett enjoys reading.
Trinity is to be an evangelical seminary in the Anglican tradition. To this end we develop Christian leaders who can plant, renew, and grow churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ.
