    MODULE 7

    This lesson explores what the afterlife means, especially the concept of Heaven and how it connects to human identity and destiny in Christian theology. It begins by explaining that humans are more than physical beings or simple image-bearers; they are designed to participate in the divine life. This idea is linked…

    • Thank you Sir “Human destiny is not just about living in a renewed land but about the beatific vision seeing God face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12)”

      It actually explores the idea of the temple as a central theme in the Bible, connecting Creation, redemption, and the future hope of believers. In the beginning, Creation itself was like a temple which is a sacred space where God’s presence dwelt with humanity. This theme continues through the Old Testament with…

      MODULE 5

      One key lesson I learned from this section is the deep connection between Creation and Heaven and how both are central to the biblical narrative. The teaching emphasizes that Creation is not an accident or a temporary stage but part of God’s eternal purpose. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible presents a big…

      • Imagine that the beauty we experience in this life like waterfalls, clear blue waters, and nature’s wonders are just glimpses of what is to come and that Human destiny is not just about living in a renewed land but about the beatific vision seeing God face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12). What a wonderful lesson.

        From 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…

      • ART OF BIBLICAL WORDS
        SESSION 5

        From 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…

          • 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.

            SESSION 4

            From 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.

                This 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…

                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…

                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…

              • 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).
