Course Description:
Faithful Christians have always recognized the importance of the progress of biblical history, especially as it relates to humanity’s fall into sin and to God’s redemptive work. The discipline of biblical theology arose as a means to study this progress in responsible ways. Much like systematic theology, biblical theology organizes theological ideas in ways that increase our understanding of Scripture. But whereas systematic theology organizes its ideas according to topics, biblical theology organizes its findings in historical periods or epochs. Used rightly, biblical theology is a powerful and helpful tool for interpreting and applying the Bible.

Course Goals and Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

1.   Understand biblical theology from a revelatory perspective.

2.   Determine how God is leading you to build biblical theology based on His Word.

3.   Put aside philosophical biases and see God’s Word for what it really is.

4.   Develop a deeper relationship with the Lord.

5.   Help others build a solid biblical theological foundation.
