Chapter Six: Principles of Interpretation
In this chapter I have learned importance of rightly dividing the word of truth or interpreting the word of God.
The word “Rightly dividing” originate from the old testament where sacrifice was divided in three portions ,one for God,the priest and the one sacrificing.
I learnt about…

I like this principle that “Bible must always be interpreted according to it’s context, points to be considered must be who wrote the book?whom was the book directed to? what is being said? why is it being said? when was the book written?.”

Great summary! We cannot be true in our Bible interpretation if we do not first accept it as the authoritative word of God.

MODULE 3: SESSION 12: Noah the Righteous Remnant
A key concept for understanding the narrative flow of the whole Bible is that the righteousness of one can count for the many. The story of Noah is first time we see this in the Bible. The Bible itself provides the questions to interrogate God’s character such as why would the…

SESSION 11: The Rebellion of the Sons of Adam
Being in covenant with God has nothing to do with being ethnically a part of Abraham’s family. It means imitating Abraham’s trust in God. The outcry of the ruined land is a key motif showing us how human corruption and suffering prompts God to…

The story of the Nephilim is very interesting. Knowing their identity changes our perspective on the rest of OT Narrative.

MODULE 2: SESSION 8: The Rebellion of the Sons of Elohim
The idiomatic phrase “sons of … “ or “daughters of … “ is used to indicate members of a group. So the sons of Elohim are members of a group of spiritual beings. The Bible claims there are powers and rulers in the heavenly realm with agency who are at work in ways very…
