Historical Context

The audio and notes for the class I'm teaching on Hermeneutics are now available here. This week's topic is "Historical Context."

Hermeneutics

I've recently begun a course on Hermeneutics (the underlying principles of biblical interpretation) for the pastoral staff as part of a leadership development program at Bethel World Outreach Center. The audio and notes for the course will be made available online here at this blog on a separate webpage, which can be accessed through the link provided in the upper right column of this page, or simply by clicking here.

Exodus: A Paradigm of Redemption

The course I teach at Bethel World Outreach Center is in full swing again after the holiday hiatus. The latest class is entitled, "Exodus: A Paradigm of Redemption." You can access the audio and notes via the link located in the upper right hand column of this webpage, or simply by clicking here.

God's Story of Redemption resumes!

At long last after a hiatus due to illness and the holidays, I've resumed the class I'm teaching on God's Story of Redemption. Just to review, here's my objective for this weekly class which will run about 22 weeks altogether:

• "Students should grow in their theological understanding of the biblical metanarrative of redemption in terms of its grounding in the purposes of creation, its cohesiveness throughout Scripture, and its objectives in the present and coming ages, and consequently grow in their awe of God, their eschatological hope for the return of Jesus Christ, and their desire to holistically engage in God’s mission now."

I've just posted Lesson #7, Israel: A Chosen People for All Nations, which is a make-up lesson from November, and Lesson #8, which is a review of the first seven lessons. You can access the class on this blog by clicking the link in the top right column, or simply clicking here.
