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,…

Africa Activity 11 months agoPERSONAL ESCHATOLOGY
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…

Well done brother

Yes! God intends to bring all things together under Him in a perfect overlap of heaven and earth.

Africa Activity 12 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…

May God bless you Sir

Great reflection. Dictionary definitions of words do not always show how the word is used in specific contexts. We must understand how a word is used in order to know which meaning is intended by the author.

Africa Activity 12 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
-
That’s right! Context is king. My OT/NT exegesis lecturer told us repeatedly to make context our best friend in Bible interpretation. Many have genuinely taught wrongly because they neglected context.

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…

Africa Activity 12 months agoPERSONAL ESCHATOLOGY
MODULE 2This 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…

This is very profound

Africa Activity 12 months agoPersonal Eschatology
Module 1: Hope, the afterlife and meaningFrom 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…

May God bless you very much. This is eye opening

Africa Activity 12 months agoADAM TO NOAH
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…
