Ot 620 Pentateuch, Joseph R. Dongell Jan 2002

Ot 620 Pentateuch, Joseph R. Dongell

Syllabi

I. General Purpose: This course aims to continue fostering Bible study which is: methodical (following orderly procedure, rather than relying on chance), inductive (promoting direct personal study of the text prior to use of secondary sources), structural (observing logical connections as a key component of meaning), literary (recognizing the literary character of Scripture and the significance of literary context), historical (honoring the location of Biblical texts in their particular historical settings), theological (placing the passage in the context of the Scripture and Christian doctrine), and reverent (pursuing Biblical study humbly, prayerfully, under the influence of the Spirit)

Ot 520 Foundations For Old Testament Study, Lawson G. Stone Jan 2002

Ot 520 Foundations For Old Testament Study, Lawson G. Stone

Syllabi

Aspirations: OT 520 seeks to equip students for ministry by providing selected tools fundamental to responsible interpretation of the OT. The course neither offers a comprehensive approach, nor emphasizes direct textual study, but enhances both by developing a framework within which competent interpretation can take place. Students explore contemporary approaches to the literary character, historical and cultural setting, composition, authorship, and literary unity of these books, their various literary types, settings, and functions, and how these affect Christian reading of the OT. Students who realize these aspirations will be able to : 1. Show how a close reading of the …

Nt 511 The Gospel Of Mark, David Loren Thompson

Syllabi

This course seeks to introduce the various aspects of methodical, inductive Bible study, especially observation and interpretation. It intends, by study of Mark’s Gospel, to foster Bible study which values orderly procedure, direct personal contact with the text, analysis of relations which hold between text units, and recognition of the book as the crucial context for interpretation. The English Bible will serve as the text of entry for the study, with emphasis also on appropriate use of the Greek New Testament and “original language” skills and tools for interpreting the book of Mark.
