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
