MODULE 2: SESSION 10: Literary Design in Genesis 2: 4-17
The writings in Genesis 2: 4-17 have been designed in a repetitive style linking each a every line with a verb interlinked to each other. You find a narrative starting with Human then garden then human, afterward garden or waters, human and garden, waters and finally human…

MODULE 2; session 10: The Beginning and Nothingness
According to John Walton there is an ancient Near Eastern cosmology, the “cosmic sea” which belongs to the pre-creation state, and this is a neutral, functionless state of non-organization and lifelessness.
Further, this explains about the reshit as used in the book of Genesis…

MODULE 2: SESSION 10: The Origin of the Bible from Historical Perspective
The most important thing for people to understand about the compositional process of the Bible or about the nature of the Bible as human and divine is that the Bible is the collection of preexisting material that have been brought into…

MODULE 2: SESSION 9: What the Prophets Say About the Bible’s Origin
Genesis 1 and 2 relates to one another in such a way that both of them explains the creation of heaven and earth and everything in it. The Genesis 1 acts as a portrait, depicting what is going to happen, in fact it is a pictorial presentation or…

MODULE 2: SESSION 9: Ancient Babylonian Cosmology
The common ground between ancient Babylonian cosmological accounts and the Hebrew Bible all is that ancient Babylonian cosmology do believe that in the beginning everything was in a chaotic water state before ordering of the universe and the Israelite cosmology entails that…

MODULE 2: SESSION 9: What The Prophets Say About the Bible’s Origin
The Hebrew Bible was written by what is considered to be the minority group trying to criticize the people, Governments and/or Kings who were against God’s directives. Practically the Torah and the prophets passed from one generation to another,…

MODULE 4From the passage, I have learned that the story of Creation and its unfolding through the covenants is not just a theological narrative but a formative process for the worldview of God’s people. Scripture is not just a source of information; it is a spiritual practice that shapes both individuals and the church…

Africa Activity 10 months agoART OF BIBLICAL WORDS
SESSION 5From this session, I learned that each biblical author has a unique style, emphasis, and theological focus, so words can carry slightly different nuances depending on who is writing. It’s not enough to know the dictionary definition or general semantic range of a word, we have to study how that specific author uses…

Africa Activity 10 months agoART OF BIBLICAL STUDIES
SESSION 4From this session, I learned that most biblical words don’t have just one fixed meaning, they carry a semantic range that changes depending on context. Words like “faith” (pistis) or “righteousness” can mean different things in different passages, so it’s not enough to memorize a single definition. For example,…

A semantic range of meaning, yes its very important to observe

MODULE 3This lesson helped me understand something I’d never really grasped before about the Bible’s big picture. The whole storyline isn’t just a collection of random stories ,there’s this consistent rhythm running through everything: blessings and curses, faithfulness and consequences.
What struck me most is that God’s…
