Study to Show Yourself Approved (4 Units)
Biblical hermeneutics is the science and art of biblical interpretation. In 2 Timothy 2:15, the apostle Paul exhorted Timothy to “study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” In this course you will learn 30 biblically-based principles that will equip you to interpret the Bible correctly. By applying these principles to your study of the Scriptures, you will gain great insight into them and be better able to recognize and reject false doctrine. ————— Dr. David R.
