About this course

This course builds competence in surveying the Bible from Genesis to Revelation by mapping the canon’s structure, tracing the overarching narrative, and reading major genres with appropriate historical-cultural awareness. It situates key periods and empires (Egypt through Rome) and introduces essential Second Temple Judaism background for the Gospels and Paul. Core Bible-wide themes—covenant, kingdom, temple/dwelling-with-God, messiah, exile/return, and blessing to the nations—are tracked across both Testaments. The course also develops responsible interpretive method (genre, context, author/audience, canonical reading) and a nuanced orientation to interpretive diversity, including major approaches to historicity and miracles.
