This fall, we will finish the study we started in the spring on understanding and interpreting the Bible. The spring class covered the basics of biblical interpretation (who determines what the Bible means, interpreting passages in context, etc.). The class this fall will dig a little deeper as we learn to interpret different genres of Scripture (Old Testament law, the Gospels, Revelation, Psalms, and more).

If you were not able to attend the spring sessions (or would like a refresher), the recordings can be found HERE. We will also review the basics of interpretation as we discuss these different genres this fall, so you can still learn a lot from this class even if you were unable to attend in the spring and are not able to listen to the recordings.

Finally, like the spring, we will use the companion book Journey into God's Word (2nd edition) that we will finish up this fall. The chapters we will cover each week are listed below, but just like the spring, even if you are not able to read any of the book, you will still be able to learn a lot from the class. You will be provided with additional outlines that have everything you need for each session.
