According to the seminary catalog:
Biblical Interpretation
Purpose:
• To gain an overall framework for interpreting/applying any passage of Scripture, a framework that is sensitive to the reader’s world, the author’s world, and the text itself
• To gain experience in seeing the Christological/Gospel-centered implications of any text as a prerequisite for meaningful personal application
• To grow in ability to rivet Scriptural truth to real-life ministry situations
• To practice biblical interpretation in the context of community
Topics covered include the problem of meaning, historical and contemporary models for the interpretation/application of Scripture, Bible translators, resources for Bible study, genre, and contemporary challenges in interpretation (including the role of the reader and the impact of culture in the process of interpretation).
