Description
You are probably familiar with Christian Bible study, which traditionally appropriates a Greek worldview. This Greek approach recognizes the ability of mankind to perceive universal truths and concepts. In science, for example, these concepts are viewed as mathematical laws. In the spiritual realm of religion, and specifically in the study of the Bible, these truths are interpretative conclusions that declare the meaning of the text. Thus, theology tends to promote interpretations as truth, which leads to doctrinal positions and promotes thousands of Christian denominations, each claiming to know the truth.This study will take you to an ancient Hebraic approach of searching the Scriptures that uncovers a depth of meaning. This approach understands that the Bible is distinctly different from western literature in two ways. First, it is an ancient text composed in the oriental world. Thus, its worldview is eastern and Hebraic, not Greek and western. Second, its message is spiritual rather than factual, logical, and scientific. The biblical message is delivered in an artistic manner that stimulates curiosity, provokes questions, and invites penetration of a deeper understanding that resides behind the plain and simple words.This course offers video instruction in twelve lessons. If you want to monitor your progress, there are brief quizzes. Dr. Anne Davis will be your instructor. She has a Ph.D. degree in Biblical Studies, has authored numerous books that you can find on Amazon, and offers her research findings on the BibleInteract website.
