Description
Course Description
This 10-session course focuses on the authority, nature, and interpretation (hermeneutics) of the Scriptures. We will compare the various Christian traditions’ views of authority, examining the Reformation principle of Sola Scriptura. We focus on its transmission and canonization. We will also ask tough questions concerning the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture. We will then look at how the Church has interpreted the Scriptures throughout history, ending our time by looking at current trends in Evangelical hermeneutics.
This course can be taken individually or as a part of “The Theology Program.”
