Interpreting Scripture Today
How do the Scriptures, the Spirit, and the interpretive community work together to discern the message and meaning of the Bible? How do we read the text carefully so that we can live it out with wisdom and faithfulness?
Bible
Genesis – Back to the Beginning
How does God reveal himself in the Old Testament and what is his relationship to people and the universe that he created? What were humans originally created to be and do and what might the implications be for us today?
Exposition of Mark

We will examine closely the various portraits of Jesus that Mark highlights and focus on a careful literary and theological study of the book with the goal of understanding the text and applying it to the present context.
