Course description

This course provides an in-depth exploration into the Bible as a text and aims to equip students with creative methods for studying it. The course is divided into three parts: understanding the subject of study, preparing for study, and applying creative study methods. The course covers the history, composition, and various versions of the Bible. It will guide students in the effective use of Bible study tools, principles of interpretation, and outlining, marking, and charting for a more structured approach. Subsequently, students will delve into the practical application of different study methods such as devotional, book, chapter, paragraph, verse, word, topical, biographical, theological, poetry, prophecy, and typological study methods. The course culminates with a research paper focusing on the application of a chosen study method on a selected biblical text.
