The Bible can be difficult to read and even harder to understand. It was first written and read by people who lived in a different time, a different place, and a different culture.
How do we learn to hear the Bible as its first listeners would have heard it? How can we interpret it for our own time?
The courses in How to Read and Understand the Bible Track will teach you how to read, understand, and apply the Bible to today.
When you finish this course track, you will have become a better reader of the Bible.
When we have confirmed you have satisfied the program requirements, we will issue a Certificate of Completion.
