Semester 1: Introduction to Hebrew Scripture

The first semester is an introduction to the Hebrew Scripture. The Hebrew Scripture is the foundation for much of our Christian faith. This course acquaints students with the books of the Hebrew Scripture. The class will analyze each work for historical significance and for what it reveals to each student religiously. A close reading of the Bible will be undertaken in order to help students become closer to their faith. Each student will be required to bring or purchase a Bible. Students will plan prayer services, integrating what they learn in the Bible with worship.

Semester 2: Christian Scripture
