Reading Responsibly: Fall 2020 Online Class

This class was streamed live on Wednesdays, 8:00pm CT, in Sept-Nov 2020, and you can now watch all of the videos!

Check out the video below for a welcome from Josh!

Class Summary

In one of his New Testament letters, Paul encourages Timothy to “correctly handle the word of truth” (2 Tim 2:15). This is a great phrase to capture our goal as people who want to read and apply scripture well. Join us online for a weekly class and discussion about how to be a responsible Bible reader.

Each week, we’ll look at a different section of scripture, talk about its unique features, consider some common pitfalls, and come away with some helpful, encouraging tips.

Goals

This class will help you

  • Identify the different types of writing found in the Bible
  • Read scripture closer to how its original readers would have
  • Avoid some common interpretation errors
  • Apply scripture to your life in healthy ways
