Description
The Bible, not our experience, provides authority and context for understanding and developing our spirituality. This course trains us to bring our personal experience into the large world of the Bible where it has room to breathe and expand, rather than squeeze the Bible into the cramped confines of our sin-stunted experience. The course ranges through both the Old and the New Testament, using the Trinity as an organizing structure. Lectures include:
- Introduction
- Introductory Terms
- Creation: The Wonder of Birth
- Creation: Scriptural Accounts
- Creation: Incarnation and Gnosticism
- Salvation: Suffering
- Salvation: Stories of Death
- Salvation: Sacrifice, Hospitality, Eucharist
- Holy Living: Resurrection and Sainthood
- Holy Living: Scriptural Accounts
- Holy Living: Stories, Baptism, Fellowship
- Conclusion
