Encountering the First-Century World of Jesus of Nazareth
Are you or your church interested in the idea of taking a Guided Tour around the cultural, geographical, historical, and religious aspects of the World of Jesus?
Along the way, you will find out how an appreciation of the first-century brings the Gospels to life – why did Jesus say what he said, where he said it, and how he said it?
It is vital to understand the context and culture of the Gospels to properly interpret the first-century situation and its relevance to our twenty-first-century setting.
Biblical Interpretation
It is important to differentiate between the different kinds of biblical literature; to consider key issues in interpreting biblical texts; and to be able to reflect on the meaning of the biblical story for our contemporary context.
By looking at the whole story of God, through a variety of selected texts, you will have the opportunity to see how best to handle the Law, the Psalms, the Wisdom Literature, the Gospels, the Epistles, and Apocalyptic Literature.
Understanding Cross-Cultural Issues In Your Ministry and Outreach
We live in a world where we are aware there are significant cross-cultural issues between people and nations.
Are you interested in discovering how other cultures view the world, how high and low context communication can make all the difference, or how an understanding of honour and shame changes our approaches to evangelism and discipleship?
