CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCING THE BIBLE
The Bible, which is the written word of the one true God, is a very interesting book (or collection of books) to study. In this particular chapter, what has imparted me the most is learning about its origin, it’s purpose and its unity.
Origin of the Bible
How the Bible came about is that…

MODULE 6: SESSION 30: Studying the Abraham Story in Different Settings
People learn more when they try to teach others what they are learning. Like the biblical authors who anchor their stories to the Bible’s larger narrative, we can shape our practices and gatherings to reflect the unified story of Scripture. Calling attention to…

MODULE 6: SESSION 29: Reflecting on the Abraham’s Story
The emphasis on protecting the vulnerable reminds us that when we choose our own version of Eden, we secure perceived safety at the expense of others, with consequences that impact generations. When we see brokenness in the world, Avraham’s story reminds us that even though we’re in…

MODULE 6: SESSION 26: Sarah’s Tomb as the Mini Eden
Contextually, the cave of Makpelah evokes the idea of the naked pair and garden imagery an Eden spot. Avraham buying the cave is an act of sacrifice, surrender, and hope. Biblical authors link Avraham and Sarah’s burial site to Eden and to hope for life beyond death.

VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE
BIBLE TRANSLATION AND PARAPHRASE
Translation and paraphrase are the two main types of versions of the Bible. The difference between the two being that Bible translation aims at converting the original language ( Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic) into another language like English as accurately as possible where word…

Thus converting the original language ( Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic) into another language like English as accurately as possible provides a clear insight of what we ought to understand with regard to the author’s intention
