Biblical Interpretation

A man in a plaid shirt stands in front of a classroom, gesturing thoughtfully. Students sit at desks, engaged, with notes on a whiteboard behind him.

Discover the Drama: Faithful Interpretation for Life and Ministry

A person with curly hair is focused on taking notes in a classroom setting. They hold a phone and a pen, with a water bottle and snacks nearby.

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.⁠ ⁠​
