  • PERSONAL ESCHATOLOGY
    MODULE 2

    This lesson captures something I think we often miss about the Creation story: it’s a vivid portrait of God’s character and intentions that ripple through all of Scripture. The opening image of a child experiencing a perfect spring day really struck me because it connects us emotionally to what Eden was meant…

  • Personal Eschatology
    Module 1: Hope, the afterlife and meaning

    From the lecture, I have gained a clearer understanding of personal eschatology which is the study of the “last things” as they relate to individuals, particularly the Christian afterlife. The instructor emphasizes that our view of Heaven shapes and reflects how we read the Bible and…

    MODULE 2: SESSION 8: The Structure of the Eden Narrative

    Generally Genesis 1 sets a foundation of what ought to be done and/or created while Genesis 2 is the filling up of what was spoken in Genesis 1. Genesis 2 is like the act of layering over the already set truth. Further, the indication that there was no man to till the ground…

    MODULE 2: SESSION 8: Ancient Egyptian Cosmology

    Israel existed in the same cultural environment as its ancient neighbors. So the biblical authors speak from within their ancient Near Eastern perceptions of the world. They are making worldview claims about the God of Israel through their cultural constructs. Because of this, it…

  • Session 3 : Art of Biblical words

    This illustrates the “encyclopedia” concept I described earlier. The instructor demonstrates how New Testament authors like John weren’t just writing in Greek, they were thinking within the Hebrew Bible’s conceptual framework, even when using Greek vocabulary. The word study of “dwelt” (skēnoō) in John 1:14…

    • Thank you very much l have linked it with what l have studied recently that there is an encyclopedia of production (an author) and an encyclopedia of Reception (of a reader). For a better understanding a reader should have a built in encyclopedia while observing the encyclopedia of production (considering an author).

    • Art of biblical words – session 2

      In this session, I realized that reading the Bible is, at its core, a cross-cultural experience. It’s not just a book in my own language. It’s a translation of words born in an entirely different world, shaped by ancient Israel’s language, time, and culture. That gap isn’t a problem to hide

      MODULE 1: SESSION 7: Reflecting on the Macrostructure of Genesis 1-11

      I have learnt a lot in this session where l have come to realize that, this is the foundation of all the Hebrew Bible because after this all themes keeps on repeating or layering up.

      The Bible is meditation literature, which means some themes and connections…

      MODULE 2: SESSION 7: The Purpose of Light in Day 1

      In the beginning God created the light and called it day and God created the light apart from the darkness. The separation of light from darkness had a purpose of creating the pattern of time where he called the light day and darkness marked as night.

      Finally we come to…
